Hi,

I would like to find out how i can stop single clients doing backup
while the rest of the group continues.

I have situations where the Backup runs late..... (sometimes, it may
overran into the next day) .. in this cases, in all cases i dont have
to stop the backups, coz they are imprortant, but once in a while the
admnistrators of the  servers want me to terminated the backup on only
one client  while the rest of the backup can go on.

How can i do this.
Regards
Elvis Ademba
