on the server, you should be able to do the following without creating
a new group.

savegrp -l full -c <client name> <group>

where <client name> is the name of your Windows machine.
      <group>       an existing group that the Windows machine is a member.

I was hoping from the server to hit the one client without doing group
magic.  We had a problem recently where a box was double backing up
because someone put a client in a temp/test group and forgot it was
there.  A few weeks later that group got turned on and was backing up
that client along with it's normal schedule.

Doing the groups works but it'd be nice if I could issue a

save_client -c remote.client -s my.server -l1

Right now it's one machine but we're moving an office and it'll be 20+
machines before the move is over.
