nsr_directive

SYNOPSIS

       type: NSR directive

DESCRIPTION

       Each NSR directive is described by a single resource of type NSR direc-
       tive (see nsr_resource(5)).  To edit the NSR directive resources for  a
       NetWorker server, use nsradmin(1) or nwadmin(1).  See the corresponding
       manual page for more information on the use of these NetWorker adminis-
       tration programs.

       These  resources  are  used  by the NetWorker ASM (Application Specific
       Module) family of commands  when  processing  files;  see  uasm(1)  and
       nsr(5).  Directives can be used to improve the efficiency of backups by
       controlling which files get saved and specifying  special  handling  on
       certain types of files.

ATTRIBUTES

       The  following  attributes are defined for resource type NSR directive.
       The information in parentheses describes how the attribute  values  are
       accessed.  Create-only indicates that the value cannot be changed after
       the resource has been created.   Read/write  means  the  value  can  be
       updated  by authorized administrators.  Hidden means it is an attribute
       of interest only to programs or experts, and these attributes can  only
       be  seen  when  the  hidden  option  is turned on in nsradmin(1) or the
       details view is enabled in nwadmin(1).  Dynamic attributes have  values
       which  change rapidly.  Several additional attributes such as, adminis-
       trator,  are  common  to  all   resources,   and   are   described   in
       nsr_resource(5).

       name           (create-only)
              The  names  of directive resources are displayed as choices when
              creating   or   updating   NetWorker   client   resources,   see
              nsr_client(5).  The name can generally be chosen at the adminis-
              trator's convenience, but it must be unique for  this  NetWorker
              server.  The directive resource named 'Unix standard directives'
              may be modified, but it may not be deleted. Other directives can
              only be deleted if no clients or archive lists are using them.
              Example: name: Unix standard directives;

       comment        (read/write)
              This  attribute  is  provided  for the administrator to keep any
              explanatory  remarks  or  supplementary  information  about  the
              directive.

       directive      (read/write)
              This  attribute  contains the rules defining the directive.  The
              value of this attribute is similar to the  contents  of  a  .nsr
              file  except that absolute path names must be specified for each
              << path >> directive.  See nsr(5) for more  information  on  the
              format of NetWorker directives.
              Example: directive: "<< / >> skip : core";

       directives "Default" and "Default with  compression".   These  are  old
       names  for "Unix standard directives" and "Unix with compression direc-
       tives", respectively.  NetWorker will remove  the  directive  resources
       using the old names when they are no longer being used.

EXAMPLE

       An example NSR directive resource, named 'Unix directive', follows:

              type: NSR directive;
              name: Unix directive;
         directive: "
                     << / >>
                          +skip : core
                          skip : tmp
                     << /usr/spool/mail >>
                          mailasm : *
                     << /nsr >>
                          allow
                    ";
