[Networker] Index question

Usually when I run a backup estimate as:

savegrp -n -l incr groupname

It usually always reports some greater than zero value for the client'sindex, never mind the save sets. What seems odd to me is why would itreport a non-zero value for the index itself if nothing in the index haschanged since the last level 9?

Granted, data has changed under the affected save set, but the only waythe index would change would be if a backup ran, and then the index getsupdated. We have multiple NSR client resources for the same client, eachbeing in a different group. Every group also saves the index. Afterrunning incrementals for all the groups 1, 2, 3, ... and then addingsome new data to the save set for group 1 and then running only anincremental estimate on group 1, it reports what I would expect for thesave set but it also reports a non-zero value for the index. How couldit report that the index is still non-zero?

The only thing I can see is that it's taking the expected size of theincremental for the save set itself and factoring in how much of anindex change this would result in and reporting that, maybe ???
