Ummm... no....  Try recovering a client file index fro backups that are from a 
different NetWorker datazone using "nsrck -L7"

Sort of....  Yes, you can copy the index directory from one NetWorker server to 
the other, but the client file index probably is not in sync with the target's 
media database.  So, unless you also use the same media database from where the 
indexes originated, then the next time the server runs nsrim -X, you may find 
that some index information is removed, since there is no corresponding saveset 
information in the media database.
