This happens by design. It is to ensure that your NetWorker server, and
particularly the bootstrap, always has a backup. There must always be a
scheduled group that includes the NetWorker server.

Yes, you need to add a client for the NetWorker server in a scheduled
group. If you want this group not to backup any data you can set it with
a schedule that skips every day.
