NSR_DIRECTIVE(5)           Legato NetWorker 4.1.1           NSR_DIRECTIVE(5)


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

SYNOPSIS
       type: NSR directive

DESCRIPTION
       Each NSR directive is described by a single resource of type NSR
       directive (see nsrresource(5)).  To edit the NSR directive resources
       for a NetWorker server use nsradmin(8) or nwadmin(8).  See the
       corresponding manual page for more information on the use of these
       NetWorker administration programs.

       These resources are used by the NetWorker asm family of commands when
       processing files, see uasm(8) 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(8) or the details view is enabled in nwadmin(8).  Dynamic
       attributes have values which change rapidly.  Several additional
       attributes (e.g. administrator) are common to all resources, and are
       described in nsrresource(5).

       name           (create-only)
              The names of directive resources are displayed as choices when
              creating or updating NetWorker client resources, see
              nsrclient(5).  The name can generally be chosen at the
              administrator'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;

       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";

NOTE
       NetWorker comes with four directive resources already defined, "Unix
       standard directives", "Unix with compression directives", "DOS
       standard directives", and "NetWare standard directives".  The first

       two are meant for use with clients running on Unix platforms.  "DOS
       standard directives" is intended for use with clients on machines
       running DOS.  The last directive, "NetWare standard directives", is
       meant for use with clients running on NetWare platforms.  There may
       also be two other directives "Default" and "Default with
       compression".  These are old names for "Unix standard directives" and
       "Unix with compression directives", respectively.  NetWorker will
       remove the directive resources using the old names when they are no
       longer of use.

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
                    ";
