What I have is Exchange servers (emc) BCVs, grouped by Storage Group.
There are four SGs per server and each has 4 Information Stores in it.
Prior processes run and once they are complete I can backup that storage
group.  The only way to make the Exchange SGs modular for backup is to
define the Stroage node for each SG of the exchange server each in it's
own group.  So what I have is the following groups for Server 1

Server1_SG1
        contains SN1 definition for SG1 BCVS

Server1_SG2
        contains SN1 definition for SG2 BCVS

Server1_SG3
        contains SN1 definition for SG3 BCVS

Server1_SG4
        contains SN1 definition for SG4 BCVS

By doing this I can execute savegrp commands from an external scheduler.


Eventually there will 12 servers x 4 SGs = 48 groups.

Is there a cleaner way to do this so that I can kick off individual SN
definitiions without all the groups?

Cheers,
Jim

There used to be the limit that the total number of characters in all 
the group names added together could not exceed 1024. This was back at 
NetWorker 5.x. I'm fairly sure that this limit has now been removed, 
however if you pass this limit you will know for sure.
