Disabling Catalog Indexing

• To stop NetBackup from generating new INDEX files for a client, delete the INDEXLEVEL file. NetBackup continues to use existing INDEX files.
• To temporarily stop using the INDEX files during searches but retain existing index files, change the INDEX directory to INDEX.ignore. When you are done, change INDEX.ignore back to INDEX to resume indexing.
• To permanently eliminate INDEX files for a client, delete the INDEX directory and the INDEXLEVEL file.
