NSR_POLICY(5)               Legato NetWorker 4.0               NSR_POLICY(5)


NAME
       NSR policy - NetWorker resource type ``NSR policy''

SYNOPSIS
       type: NSR policy

DESCRIPTION
       Each NetWorker policy is described by a single resource of type NSR
       policy (see nsrresource(5)).  To edit the NSR policy resources for a
       NetWorker server, type:
              nsradmin -c "type:NSR policy"
       See nsradmin(8) for more information on using the NetWorker adminis­
       tration program.

       These resources control how long entries remain in a client's on-line
       file index and when to mark a save set as recyclable.  Each NSR
       client resource (see nsrclient(5)) uses two policies, a browse pol­
       icy and a retention policy.  Policies can only be deleted if no
       clients are using them.

       Each policy defines an amount of time.  The amount of time is deter­
       mined by the period and the number of periods.

ATTRIBUTES
       The following attributes are defined for resource type NSR policy.
       The information in parentheses describes how the attribute values are
       accessed.  Create-only indicates that the value cannot be changed by
       an administrator once the resource is created.  Read/write means the
       value can be set as well as read at any time.  Several additional
       hidden attributes (e.g., administrator) are common to all resources,
       and are described in nsrresource(5).

       name      (create-only)
              This attribute contains the name of the policy defined by this
              resource.  The name must be unique for this NetWorker server,
              but otherwise can be anything that makes sense to the adminis­
              trator.  This name will appear as a choice attribute of each
              NSR client resource.  The NSR policy resources named "Quarter"
              and "Year" may be modified, but may not be removed.  The name
              can only be specified when the group is created.
              Example: name: life cycle;

       period         (read/write)
              The period attribute determines the base unit for this policy.
              It may be one of four values: Days, Weeks, Months or Years.  A
              week is defined as 7 days, a month as 31 days, and a year as
              366 days.
              Example: period: Months;

       number of periods(read/write)
              The number of periods attribute specifies the number of base
              units to use.
              Example: number of periods: 3;
