So all of my backup jobs have "No index save" set as an option; this was 
apparently done under advice of EMC, when they originally set us up. Now, 
I can understand the reasoning for a separate Bootstrap group and separate 
tape; this facilitates ease of DR recovery, so I can get back all of my 
clients at once (I think). But why would I *not* want to save the index 
with each backup job? Wouldn't having the index make restoring/recovering 
from tape easier? i.e., it's easier to do a "scanner -m" rather than 
having to do a more time-consuming "scanner -i".

So I'm thinking of changing my job definitions to remove the "No index 
save", but also keep my separate Bootstrap group, tape and scheduled job 
to run the "savegrp -O" every morning.

Thoughts? Good idea? Best practice? Waste of time? etc

Thanks
