How can I stop networker from generating bootstrap backups

Question

As a support engineer I have a test Networker server running in a vm on my laptop, using a couple of aftd as backup devices. Obviously space is limited and I use very small sevesets, just to test. However Networker saves a bootstrap and index saveset as well, and these grow over time Is there any way of preventing the bootstrap backup?

When backups are running for server itself - no.

The bootstrap would be backed up only if you use backup groups. If it is a client initiated backup (using the save command or the gui), the bootstrap would not be backed up.
