The backup process is like the normal backup, except that the savegrp is called and issues a request to nsrexecd on the client.  nsrexecd calls nsrdasv which loads the correct API for the database installed ncsecu

backup         nsrworkflow -p policy -w workflow [-c client] -A ("backup_action_name" -l level) -a

If a clone action has been defined for the workflow it will automatically be executed.

Otherwise use nsrclone to clone the save sets.
