A backupset should do that well. What is it you want that a backupset will not do? Not clear to me. It takes all the Active Data for a client and writes it out to whatever device class you specify. It is a database operation though, not an actual up to the minute client backup. It makes a set of all the Active objects that have already been backed up. There is no communication with the client.
