I am trying to get a better understanding on how to invoke commands on clients 
during backups. From reading the posts here it sounds like I need to creat a 
file on the client in C:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\res and name the file after 
the group that the client belongs to.
Example: servergroup.res

And within that file I enter the pre & post commands. In this example I just 
want to know that it worked by echoing a response.

type: savepnpc; 
precmd: "cmd.exe /c echo Start >> c:\temp\start.txt"; 
pstcmd: "cmd.exe /c echo Done >> c:\temp\stop.txt"; 
timeout: "11:45:00"; 

After many attempts and interations  of the .res file, I still cannot get file 
to output during a backup. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to make any 
modifications to the client entry on the server.
