But indexes on seperate tapes wastes a lot of tapes. Indexes are tiny so I

It only wastes tape if you send them away before they are full. There is
a debate to be had here about whether it is better to send them away
immediately or wait until they are full, and that depends on many
factors, such as the size of your environment and type of media used.
Here's one thing I've never really understood: why separate your index
savesets from your data? I don't get what the advantage is, so we've
never done that here. Our indexes save to the same pool/tapes as the
actual saveset data and their browse/recover period is the same as the
saveset data.
Can anyone enlighten me on this issue? I know there are plenty of sites
that are saving indexes separately so there obviously has to be a valid
reason for it.
Thanks,
Tim
