In regard to: Re: [Networker] Bootstrap and Index Question, Bruce Breidall...:

Or, maybe I should just leave things the way they are, since I am not
seeing any direct impact of doing about 300 bootstraps in a 24 hour
period, but it sure seems wrong.

So don't do 300 bootstraps a day.

That's why Edward suggested this:

Put

the backup

server in a group schedule standalone and scheduled through networker.

What this

will do is prevent a bootstrap backup happening after every group

finishes.

That's how we do it -- all our groups run via a script (they're not
scheduled via NetWorker) *except* the NetWorker server.  The server does
its backups at 10:30 AM every morning, and I get one bootstrap a day when
that happens.  We don't currently schedule our indexes separately -- they
happen as part of the normal group backup, after the client finishes.

Dealing with 300 bootstraps a day has the potential for confusion, which
is one thing you don't want in a DR event.
