I'm no expert, but I believe that the grenzers were full-time.

Grenzers were full time. Due to the constant skirmishing along the border with the Turks they were probably the most experienced troops in the Austro-Hungarian army.

Landwehr were basically militia/national guard units called up in wartime.
