I had the same issue and this fixed it.

Symptoms

savegroup hangs while waiting to backup indexes.

savegroup hangs will waiting to save bootstrap.

Filesystem savesets in group have completed.

 

Cause

Prior to NetWorker 7.3.2, index savesets although a saveset of the NetWorker 
server did not count against the client parallelism value set for the client 
instance of the NetWorker server.  This was corrected via LGTpa87263.  As a 
result, if the client parallelism is set to 4 for the NetWorker server's client 
instance, index backups will wait until the number of active savestreams for 
the NetWorker server exceeds 4. 

 

Resolution

To resolve this issue, the client parallelism for the NetWorker server should 
be increased accordingly.

        Does it ever finish on it's own or are you forced to 
        kill it manually? 
        If it finishes on it's own how long do you typically 
        have to wait? 
        How much CPU and Memory are on your server and how 
        many client s are you managing with it? What other 
        tasks is that server responsible for? 
        Thanks you!
