Well, the client doesn't really understand schedules, only levels.  And
it doesn't understand directives (at least not by name), the contents of
the server-side directive are fed into to the save.

For non-fulls, you'd need to feed the save not only a level, but also a
reference time for making the the "already saved" determination.

So you can either send a message up to the server to kick off a
savegroup (which would tie in schedule, previous successful backups, and
directives), or you can make up your own and hand them off to the local
save.  In any moderately complex environment, I'd try hard to get that
messaging from the client to the server to work.  Appropriate
permissions for nsradmin might work, or perhaps automated ssh to launch
a process...
