Is there a config file on the client that display the hostname and/or IP address of the backup server. I know there's the /opt/networker/nsr/res/servers file but this can have multiple entries. Does the backup seerver get written into any other file?
 
The servers file only becommes effective when the server (nsrd) will contact the client program (nsrexecd).

If you want to start a (backup) process from the client, just use "-s server" along with the command.
 
Hello,

a client can be saved by multiples servers, so you don't have a precise list of servers that can be used.

The only thing you must be sure is that servers IP/Hostnames must be reachable from the client.

The /nsr/res/servers is only present to control which server can query a save (empty file = whatever server).

OK thanks guys...but is there a way then of finding out from the client what server it has recently been backed up by, like a logfile or something?
 
No - you must check this from the server.
