The best option for this is likely mccli. If the system is running RHEL or SLES, you can install the mccli package directly. If not, you could configure SSH access to the utility node to run the mccli commands there.
You can use mccli commands to initiate on-demand backups for particular groups or clients including plug-in backups.
It is also possible to run file system backups by calling avtar directly but keep in mind that these backups can't be seen or controlled through the regular GUI.
