Hello,

Networker saves bootstrap information after each savegroup if it cannot find
itself in a group.

So if you have deleted the client which saves the server, or if its group is
disabled, Networker, to be secure, saves bootstrap after any save.

Check for modifications about the server (as a client).

Hope this helps.
