Index V2 Backup - Can I force a V2 Indexing Checkpoint (Consolidation) at a time of my choosing

Hello @YYZ 

Index Backups work differently than regular backups. The index databases only get backed up if:
1) They haven’t been backed up in 7 days  (or)  2) 100,000 new objects have been added into the index.

You can run a backup for the Index Server PseduoClient but that won’t guarantee the IDX Database for a specific GUID will be backed up.

Thank you,

Hi Colin

Thanks  - I’d like to move away from the 7 days, Thousands of Object ‘criteria’ (where the system chooses when the Logs will be consildated into the Index Database)

I’d like an option to  manually trigger the consolidation.

The purpose being to have a standalone / complete Index Database at a given point in time

Reason being:

1. Perform a fullset end of month backup to Tape
2. When the backups are complete, force consolidation on the Index database
3. Aux that ‘complete’ Index database onto the same tape set as the end of Months so there is no reliance on the Index Database on disk, storage or the need to reconstruct the index
