>It's not good idea. Simetimes you wouldn't be able to open table with such index. Also you backup a lot of irrelevant data when you need just index definitions. Consider keeping all your index definitions in some kind of data dictionary or use SDT.
Well, I keep a copy of the empty structure, which I use for other purposes (to automatically update the database structure on the network). This might double as a "data dictionary". However, my worry is about restoring data from the backup, if these don't have the index files.
