I have a question. I maintain a Windows XP VM to use as an NMC client. I
do regularly backup the NMC database (i.e., savepsm on a client definition

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?
