Balki,
I guess you could use savepnpc, but I'm not sure why you'd
want to go that route. Whatever Client savepnpc runs on
would have to have administrative authority for the Server to
use the nsrmm command, wouldn't it. Anyway, since you
know the start time of your backup, it should fairly simple
to schedule execution beforehand of a command like this:
mminfo -m -q 'savetime<now,!full,!volrecycle' | tail +2 | awk '{print "nsrmm -o
full -y " $1}' | sh -x
This non-full, non-recyclables tapes created so far and
marks them all as full volumes. You probably need to
alter the '-q' criteria for your own set-up.
