I have a question. I maintain a Windows XP VM to use as an NMC client. I

I've seen passing references on this list that the NMC console machine
does not have to be a client. How can that be - doesn't creating a client
instance to backup the NMC db (as shown above) indicate that a NW license
is in use?
How can you properly backup the NMC and yet not consume a license? I am
confused (nothing new there), In my case, the Windows XP is defined in the
NW client list with the definition above, and also in my "bootstrap" group
(i.e., "savegrp -O"). Should it not be in the "savegrp -O"?
Can someone shed some light on my mis-understanding?
NMC client or NMC server? If it is just a client then there is nothing
to be backed up. If it is your NMC server then you will probably want to
backup the NMC database - so yes it will need a NetWorker client licence.
