So don't do 300 bootstraps a day.

That's why Edward suggested this:

That's how we do it -- all our groups run via a script (they're not
scheduled via NetWorker) *except* the NetWorker server.  The server does
its backups at 10:30 AM every morning, and I get one bootstrap a day
when
that happens.  We don't currently schedule our indexes separately --
they
happen as part of the normal group backup, after the client finishes.

Dealing with 300 bootstraps a day has the potential for confusion, which
is one thing you don't want in a DR event.
