Daniel - look into the server script and one time client action features in
your admin guide.
You can probably achieve what you want by creating a server script which
basically contains a series of
DEFINE CLIENTACTION commands. This command has similar syntax to the DEFINE
SCHEDULE, but without all the params for period execution, and you don't
need to separately DEFINE ASSOCIATION because you specify the required
nodes right in the DEFINE CLIENT ACTION.  Then you just kick off the script
immediately (or schedule at convenient time)
This won't affect your regular backup schedules - in fact the one time
schedules will each execute - trying to contact each client more or less
immediately, and then disappear. But because you saved the whole lot in a
script, it's there in the database for whenever you might need to do this
again the future.

Hope this helps, Charlotte
