Thnks macina for ur suggestions...actually its ok for me to save the index and 
bootstrap saveset into one tape i.e , one pool....the problem for me exactly is 
that i dont want it to run everyday or even if it runs, it should not ask for 
the clone...For the Group i cannot disable clone because this group is for my 
weekly backup and clone purpose....

i hope u understand what i want....

your sugestions wud be valuable...

Rgds,
kv
