More dangerous - certainly. As for better, well better than what is
described below, but not better than doing the same thing using nsradmin as

relatively safe way to edit NetWorker resources and is totally powerful.
Except for a tiny number of cases you should never edit nsr.res directly,
even with NetWorker shut down.
