Hi Suhas,

YO (Yes & No).

1. Everything that is possible in the GUI must be possible from the command 
line.

2. However, the GUI does not always reflect to the true relations. For clients 
& groups you actually must add a client to a group (as you do it from the 
client resource).

Here is a Windows example - the visual mode is only available from the UNIX 
command:


C:\>nsradmin -s nw761
NetWorker administration program.
Use the "help" command for help.
nsradmin> create type: nsr group; name: ABC
Invalid attribute "nsr resource".
                        type: nsr group;
                        name: ABC;
Create? y
created resource id 29.0.196.7.0.0.0.0.212.115.119.78.0.0.0.0.195.214.100.100(1)
