If your aim is to back up your NSR server's index directory, why not do it
the way LEGATO recommends. The recommended way is to create a new
savegroup, then make every client a member of that group. Do not schedule
the group for auto-start. Then uses "savegrp -O" to run the group. I have
this done via a cron job daily.
