In older releases of NW (e.g. 7.2.2) , it used to be that when you restarted a failed group, using nwadmin, it would only rerun the clients/savesets that failed, not the ones that succeeded. On the other hand, if you did a 'Start' then natch.

On newer releases (7.5.x), the 'Restart' option under nmc reruns everything. Is there a way to force it to just rerun the failed client?

So I have group that shows up under nmc with a status as a red circle with an 'X' in it, not a checkbox with a green check mark. That means something failed. Turns out, one client failed because the client software was turned off. After turning it back on and restarting the client, I now want to rerun the failed client. I can either 'Start' or 'Restart'. I pick 'Restart', and it restarts every client. Sheesh!

Do I have to instead login to the primary backup server and run:

savegrp -l incr group -c client

Yes, I can do that, but thought maybe nmc could do this, too?

Thanks.

George
