Hi George,

sorry for causing the confusion as i mixed up similar issues. In fact there are 
2 'index' options:

    For the savegroup (no index save)
       Using it means that no index BACKUP will be made at the end of this 
savegroup.

    For the pool (Store index entires)
       Deselecting this default option will result in the behavior i described 
- no embedded index
       data is generated. Consequently, no index can backed up later and 
scanning will not be able
       to rebuild it.

Yes, that clears things up mostly, but two questions:

1. Even if the index does not get updated because the pool doesn't have the "Store index entries" turned on, what would happen if the group did *NOT* have "no index save" checked? Obviously, nothing would have changed in the index, thus no backup of the index to tape, but lets say isntead that a full was being run, and not an incremental. Would NW send a copy of the index to tape in that case even though no change was affected on it?

2. I'm unclear on why indexing being turned off for the pool would preclude you from scanning the tape and adding that information to the index? Is it the case that if the data was never indexed before then you can't add it to the index later? Or are you instead referring to using scanner to recover an index that was never written to tape? That obviously would not be possible since it was never sent to tape.

Sorry to be going round and round on this. Just want to be clear on my understanding.

Thanks :)

George
