For backup jobs started from the client:
You need to have a schedule with the type of "USER BACKUP" to kick off a backup from the client.
example : bpbackup -p UNIX_FS -s user_backup -L /tmp/progress-log.txt /etc
For backup jobs started from the Master server
example : bpbackup -i -p UNIX_FS -s daily_inc
If you add the client to the list of additional servers in the host properties of the master, the client can start regular backup jobs.
I have several servers that call non user backup jobs from a command line script on linux
User backups are required if you want to specify the directories included.
