Brian,

I don't believe that your index is corrupt, I think your issue is a name 
resoltution of the client.

A bit more info on the below problem...

Looking at previous backups (again, I'm just inheriting these problems 
now... :( ), it seems it has ALWAYS been doing a full - I don't see any 
incrementals, so this client has always been "corrupt".

Also, the "expired" issue was only the one time - the rest list as 
"browsable", even though there is no index for them...

Lastly, the Networker server is running Solaris 9 with UFS filesystems. 
There is a client with a 3GB index and it seems fine.
