I am pleasantly surprise to let everyone know that "apparently" that behavior is no longer true. My index saves "appear" to have the same browse time as
the clients that were backed up.

I am in the process of changing all the clients to have different browse and retention policies based on the group that they are in so I didn't know that changed until today's backups ran. ( I had to create 3 client definitions, one for each of the groups they are in. I assume this is still true since I
could not find a browse/retention policy on the groups )

Additionally, from 7.3.x onwards, you do have the option of setting a retention policy on the individual pools, which will further force shared/same retention periods. While this functionality appeared to be a little flaky in the initial 7.3.x releases, it seems to have stabilised around the 7.3.2 patch and 7.3.3.

Cheers,

Preston.
