Best
A user on a client can initiate an immediate backup of a full or incremental schedule using the bpbckup command. This is not explained in the man pages for bpbackup. In fact the man pages state that you must be root on the master server to use the -i option. It states that only "user" backups can be initiated from the client..not true!
Steps for a user to initiate an -i "immediate" backup on the master.
1. enter the clientname on the master server bp.conf as SERVER = clientname
2. on master bprdreq -rereadconfig
3. on the client as root or administrator or use sudo (unix)
bpbackup -i -p $policyname -s $schedulename -h clientname -S masterservername
Doing it this way allows the use of exclude_list and include_list and there does not have to be a "user" schedule.
