We just set up a "test" client and anytime we need to "test" anything we put
it in that group and run it.

I have written a perl script that runs as a service (inetd)

so a:

telnet <servername> 13660

starts a session where the machine will be defined and a selection fopr
full or incremental backup.

it is teaked for our WIN-desktops and WIN-laptops but it could be a nice
start

It is crucial to know when it is appropriate to withdraw our attention
from things that disturb our
mind. However, if the only way we know how to deal with certain objects
is to avoid them, there will
be a severe limit as to how far our spiritual practice can take us.
