As stated savegrp -n does everything savegrp normall would, except move data.
 
If you are planning on running this on a file server, I'd do it out of hours, 
especially if the file server is heavily used. Fileservers tend to have High 
Density File Systems (HDFS) and these will be adversely affacted by a file 
walk, as a large portion of the IO is actually walking the file system.

Two great replies, thanks.

does Savegroup -n take into account skip directives on clients?
