Alternatively, you create a "control" group in addition to the real
group if you want it controlled out of NetWorker - similar to what Ken
is suggesting but a slightly different way.

The control only client in the control group is the backup server
itself, using a spurious save set. You use a custom backup command
called say "savespecial.bat" or "savespecial.sh", depending on whether
you're under Windows or Unix respectively.

That custom backup command then does the following:

(a) Runs savegrp against the real configured group, specifying the
schedule to use (if you assign schedules to groups) to force the
schedule to be used - it isn't by default if you run a group via
savegrp;

(b) When the group concludes, it runs whatever post processing
commands you need to have run. NB: If you need those commands run on
another host you're not out of luck - you could always mung an nsrexec
RCMD/RUSER command if you don't have ssh or something along those
lines available.

Cheers,
