This might be a silly question, but did you call the res file
savegroup.res or <the name of the savegroup that the client belongs
to>.res

Subject: [Networker] precmd Configuration Question

I am trying to get a better understanding on how to invoke commands on
clients during backups. From reading the posts here it sounds like I
need to creat a file on the client in C:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\res
and name the file after the group that the client belongs to.
Example: servergroup.res

And within that file I enter the pre & post commands. In this example I
just want to know that it worked by echoing a response.

type: savepnpc; 
precmd: "cmd.exe /c echo Start >> c:\temp\start.txt"; 
pstcmd: "cmd.exe /c echo Done >> c:\temp\stop.txt"; 
timeout: "11:45:00"; 

After many attempts and interations  of the .res file, I still cannot
get file to output during a backup. Am I doing something wrong? Do I
need to make any modifications to the client entry on the server.
