I'm having an odd problem. I have a client that I recently upgraded to NW 
client 8.0.2. Now, it seems that every Windows client I upgrade to NW 8.x 
needs to have 

save -a "ignore-all-missing-system-files=yes"

In the "backup command" entry in NMC, otherwise the ALL saveset fails with 
"the system can not find the path specified". Tech Support recommended 
this work-around, and it works fine. If I don't, then every Windows 2008 
ALL backup with client 8.x fails. (the part that fails is either 
DISASTER_RECOVERY: or one of the VSS savesets). And it's always a 
different file - usually it's one of the .inf files, but not always. It's 
always an error with the "shadow copy path".

Anyway, until I can figure out why every backup fails without that 
setting, I have one client that is using the backup command "savepnpc". 
(we need to run a script that stops specific services before backup and 
then restarts them, upon completion. It's EMC's SourceOne mail archiving 
system).

So how can I use both entries?  I don't have another client that requires 
a "savepnpc", so it's not easy for me to test; I can't use this production 
system to test changes to the NW backup :-).  I don't see any save command 
in my .res file - I only have a "precmd" and "postcmd" entry, that points 
to the scripts that stop and start the services. There is no "save" 
command listed in the .res file. And the Administratio Guide says:

The save command should not be specified in the group-name.res file. The 
savepnpc
program will automatically invoke the save command and back up the save 
sets
specified in the Save set attribute for the client.

But I need a specialized save command, with that option. So how can I have 
both a savepnpc and the specialized save command?

Thanks for any clues.
