Hello,
We are currently running networker 7.2. My goal is to initiate a backup from a networker client machine. Im wondering if there is a command I can use that will also accept schedule, and directive options. I am looking at "save" but it dosent look like it will use a schedule for running full,
and incrmental backups.   Anyone have any ideas?

What you are interested in doing is a somewhat non-standard practice. Some options are available to automate client-initiated backups, but the best option for you depends on why you want to initiate the backup from the client. Can you provide more details, esp. explain why the standard server-initiated backup would not meet your needs.
