How to modify index and bootstrap backup

Question

Hi Everyone, I need some configuration tips. In my environment we have setup a storage node to backup all of our windows and unix clients and a direct attached tape drive to our NW server to backup the server and the GST database and the indexes and bootstrap. Now what I want to do is consolidate my backup and get rid of my tape drive that is attached to my NW server. After the change, my NW server backup went fine but fails on the index and bootstrap backup. It asking me to verify my setup. Do I need to change something to let NW knows where to save the indexes and bootsrap ? Is it better for me to create a dedicated index Pool ? Thanks

It's not possible to backup the bootstrap to a storage node. Networker always will use a local attached device, so you have to provide one.
