I'm re-sedning this, as I got no responses the first time.

This used to work, and I am unsure why it does not work now. I have tried 
deleteing and recreating the client resource, following the directions in 
the 7.4 Admin Guide, to no effect. The client is a Win XP Pro machine, and 
I have no problems backing up the regular file system on that client, so I 
don't think there's a firewall issue. And the server is Win2003, and has 
no firewall running. Even though I specified "Verbose" in the group 
definition, I get no more information than the above.

I tried to do this from a command line with "savepsm -s admnman004 -l full 
-b PHAPRD -c admnman008", and that did nothing but come back with a help 
screen ... and no indication of what the command line was missing.

Anyone? I haven't had a console backup in a while now.
