[Networker] Incrementals on non-indexed pools?

If you turn of indexing for a pool, what happens if you run anincremental, say, after you've run a full? Will it just run theequivalent of another level full, etc., etc.? Ditto for a numeric?

Obviously, if this option is turned off then NW isn't going to updatethe online client index, just the media database, so it would seem thatan actual incremental or numeric would not be possible because how wouldit know what had changed since the last backup without the indexentries, and yet you can perform save set recovers wherein you specifyan incremental or numeric instance even though you're not browsing. Ofcourse, in that case, NW doesn't have to decide which files to recover -all the file level decision making was determined back when it firstbacked them up - so it simply recovers that whole save set, and you getwhatever is in there even though that might include files that havesince been removed.

So, I want to say that running any backups will always result in a levelfull if indexing us turned off?
