If you want something automated, then you may want to write a script that
would
issue a query event * * t=c to search for 'failed', 'severed', 'missed', &
'uncertain' scheduled client events.

After it identifies the problem clients, it immediately starts off
incremental backups from the command line for each node every 15,30,45 mins
(depending on the amount of time each node takes to backup & the # of
drives, & other processes running on the server at the time).

After the server has identified all clients that fit the above criteria, it
would then write the clients name, date, time, & status in a file
(unsuccessful.log) so you could track the failures for resolution purposes.


Unfortunately, we do not have a script like that here, but maybe this IDEA
would ignite you in the right direction!
