a few quick thoughts
 

*       
        set them up to receive notifications on Group activity, completion 
reports
*       
        give them low level access to NMC to check themselves
*       
        write basic batch scripts to will run nsradmin grabs to check start and 
end times for their respective groups

Subject: [Networker] Detect backup activity from clients



Hi.

Is there some easy way to let administrators of networker clients detect
wheter or not a backup is running?

I would be nice if an administrator of a NW client could decide if he can
e.g. reboot the server or anything else for that matter.

I wonder if there is a way to do this in such a way that a novice admin can
do this.
