Kate,

You can start savegroup from the client but it still runs on the server.
Here is a part of the script I use to start a savegroup from the client:

========================================================================
# start oracle redo logs save
# see save_ora_redo for the actual script that gets run
echo "
  . type: NSR group;
  name: Helios-redologs
  update Autostart: Start now" | nsradmin -s DEMETER -i -

# Check status, wait until done
StatF=/tmp/RDLstat$$.tmp
sgDone=0
while [ sgDone -eq 0 ]
do
 sleep 30
 echo "
  show status
  print type: NSR group;
  name: Helios-redologs" | nsradmin -s DEMETER -i - > $StatF
#
  if grep "status: idle;" $StatF
  then
        sgDone=1
  fi
done
===================================================================

This is run on a Solaris 2.7 system to a W2K/Networker 6.1.3 server.
Let me know if you have questions.

Subject: Re: [Networker] starting a backup job from the client

So, savegroup cannot be run from the client side?

I had a client who wanted a command line alternative to nwbackup.  So, I
gave them the save command with some switches.  Somebody then told me that
savegrp would offer the client more control.
