What is a bootstrap?
This is a very basic question, but I can't find the answer anywhere. What is the bootstrap used for and what data does it contain? I have separate schedules, pools, clients, groups, etc. for each day of the week. Each schedule is a full backup on its day, and a skip on every other day, but on the skip days I still get bootstrap information written to all of the other tapes. So on Monday, it does the backup tape to the Monday pool using the Monday schedule, client, etc. but all of the other groups/clients for the other days in the week write bootstrap data to their tapes, even though their schedules are set to skip on Monday.

The one for you is -
Bootstrap is the configuration of Networker Resources. It keeps a copy of all resources like groups, schedules, clients, policies etc. that you have configured.
It is backed up everytime a group containing the backup server as a client is being backed up.
If NW server crashes and you know the SSID of the latest bootstrap, you can run mmrecov on that media and restore the entire configuration on the new NW installation. Even if Bootstrap SSID is not known you can run scanner to locate that but ideally we note down the daily bootstrap SSID so that we save time on scanner.

Turn ON - Auto Clean & specify the Cleaning Slot. Now put the cleaning cartridge in the slot you have marked as Cleaning Slot.
Networker should pick up this cartridge automatically when it needs to clean the drive.
