Re: [Networker] SAVE vs SAVEPNPC or SAVEGRP BACKUPS

this is where people often get a bit confused i think..

 you need a group which has 'auto-start' enabled which includes the
backup server itself. If you do this then you wont have a bootstrap at
the end of every other savegrp.

here's the relevant paragraph from the unix manpage for savegrp:

     specified printer).  If savegrp detects that  the  NetWorker
     server  is  not listed in any active group (a group with its
     autostart attribute set), then  the  server's  bootstrap  is
     saved with every group.

I don't think running savegrp -O is superior to letting a bootstrap
happen when you backup the server, but that is purely a matter of
opinion - other people think otherwise.

as for the directives - yes you are correct. client record directives do
get applied when you run savegrp manually, but there is no way I know of
to specify a directive on the savegrp cmdline.
