When I remove a client, I also move the client index to a different

NMC that would totally cleanup after a client.
Yes, I wish that as well. I had seen a post here describing using
nsrmm to delete the client index when deleting a client. So, I also
have removed the /nsr/index directories for these clients that are
causing nsrck to get stuck.
Personal preference of course, but I for one disagree. NetWorker's
entire strategy (e.g., dependency checking, etc.) is about maximal data
protection. If you want a product that just goes and blows away data,
pick a less trustworthy backup product... Working with support partners
as I have been for the last 10+ years, I can honestly say that I
routinely have customers who are told to decommission clients, go on to
also delete the indices, and then have an urgent recovery request come
in for them. I.e., I'd much prefer NetWorker not make deleting client
indices easier than it already is :-)
Disagreement can lead to minds being changed. Is there ever a time when you remove the
/nsr/index directory? Do you delete the client from NMC (and leave the /nsr/index directory
there) or just disable it and remove it from all groups?
