Re: [Networker] how to clone only full backups ?

This is probably how I would do it; the only problem is for Windows clients
one gets SYSTEM STATE and SYSTEM DB savesets that are full backup even on an
incremental group run.  The full backup query then becomes harder as one may
only want the these savesets from when the rest of a client did a full.  The
query for Unix clients works find though.
