Try this:

File device for Index and Bootstrap. Clone every day and send the clone
where you will.

Hi Michael,

A stand alone tape drive vs a juke box is irrelavent.  Even if you use a
jukebox, you still need a monkey to remove the tape daily or you risk the
loss
of data should the tape be damaged in some way.  If you have backups with
many
clients and just a few drives, you end up wasting valuable time waiting for
a
tape for index.  In this instance, you would want to not save indexes but
kick
off a script after the backups complete that saves the indexes.  If you have
a
separate drive, the index tape is always mounted and you can avoid this
problem.

The addition of having scripts run after each client completes is great.
Now
if they would expand this feature to groups, it would be great.
