AH HA! It does that (or tries to) even if all your groups are set to "No 
Index Save", right?

I'm having such difficulties with my NW server, that Tech Support 
suggested (temporarily) creating a new NW server. I decided *not* to use 
the "mmrecov", because I don't trust my copies at this point. Hence, I had 
to create all my groups by hand .. and i haven't gotten around to making a 
separet group for the NW server. I was wondering why it said it was trying 
to save a bootstrap on every job, and failing to do so on my clone pool 
(clone pools can't have indexes). And now I know, I think.

Thanks
