NSR_POLICY(5) Legato NetWorker 4.1.1 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
administration 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
policy 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
determined 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
administrator. 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;
