Curtis-
Dennis' postscript is correct.
i.e., it is *not* possible to run "bpbackup -i" from a remote host
unless the master server thinks that host is a media server.
Otherwise, bprd logs an error saying,
"<hostname> is not a valid server for manual backup request"
You're right that a normal "bpbackup" can be run from any host...
And you're ALSO right that you can't run "bpbackup -i" as a non-root or
non-admin user...
2 out of 3 ain't bad. ;-)
