Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Automated index activities

The NetWorker server performs these online index activities:

• Inserts entries in the client file index for each file saved during a backup. For each new backup, the NetWorker server acquires more space from the file system for the new entries.
• Removes entries and returns disk space to the operating system. The browse and retention policies automatically determine when entries are removed from the index.

You can also remove index entries manually by clicking Remove Oldest Cycle in the Index Save Sets dialog box. Removing the oldest save set cycles provides more information.
