[Networker] Forcing the backup level of an INDEX backup?

Hi All,

I've had an INDEX_ONLY group for a number of years now but the manner inwhich NetWorker decides on the backup level to use has never reallysuited me. The backup level for the Client File Index each day isderived from the scheduled backup level of some instance of the clientconfig, so if the client is having a full backup that day, theINDEX_ONLY backup for that client will be full. If the client's on anIncremental day, the INDEX_ONLY backup will be Level-9.Historically, we've had a full backup from each client each week, soI've had a regular full backup of the index.

We've recently brought in a couple of NAS boxes which are only getting afull backup once a month (with level backups in between), and I woulddearly like to force the INDEX backup to carry out a full backup on aweekly basis.I've tried using Group override to set the level, and I've tried puttinga client that's scheduled to always do full backups in to the INDEX_ONLYgroup, but to no avail.


Thoughts?

Many thanks
Will
