A. Elmar Kolkman posted (30 Aug 1999): To get the indexes on the backup tapes, you need to specify level 9 backups to be allowed on your backup tapes, since the incremental backups of your indexes are level 9 backups. And if you have specified the savesets allowed on the pools, add the index saveset. Brian Dockter adds (27 Mar 2000): The most common reason for Legato to ask for a tape from the default pool is to back up the indices. For levels 1 thru 9 and full, the indices are backed up at the same level as the save being performed. For an incremental backup, the indices are backed up at level 9. If the pool you are doing your incrementals to does not have level 9 backups enabled, Networker asks for a tape from the Default pool. In order to keep Networker from asking for a tape from the Default pool, all you need to do is enable level 9 backups on all pools that are used for incrementals.
