a different server should I immedicately re-index?


Another question if the source server's DB was just re-indexed, then backed up, then restored on the destination server should I re-index the source servers DB?

Please advise
 
In either case there is no need to re-index the database just because you restored it.

When you restore the database the indexes from the other server are brought accross. As soon as you start accessing the tables and indexes the data will be loaded into memory as needed.
