[Networker] Networker integrated Avamar de-dup schedules

Aaron, You mentioned the space saved on your aftd on your networker server. We 
just setup our avamars and are currently testing them. The deduplication is 
fantastic, but the amount of space we will need in our aftd is going to be 
huge. I noticed that networker is also storing the server indexes in there, not 
just the avamar/networker dictionary, as I like to call it. How do you keep the 
space requirement on the aftd lower, can we store the networker indexs 
elsewhere without effecting restore speeds to much?
