you need to setup two pools.

The first Pool need's to be set up with the "Store index entries = NO" Option. This is the pool which backes up only the Client's filesystems.

The second Pools needs to be created with the "Store index entries = YES" Option. Those clients you setup for this group, need to have the "savegrp -O" command in the "BACKUP COMMAND" Resource. This backes up only the Index of each Client.

Hope this helps..

Btw. merry christmas an happy new year.

This response is incorrect. If you set "store index entries" to no, then you won't have any indices to backup, and won't be able to do file recovers. What you meant was to set the "No index save" flag in the group configuration.

To answer the question more directly, it's as simple as running a group from a command line with the -O parameter. This will backup the client indices for the clients in that group, but no data from the clients. You can go further down this road, such as not backing up the indices when you backup the data, this is when you need the "No index save" on a group. You can also start setting up dedicated pools for index data, sometimes this is an appropriate choice, other times not.
