Davina,

Thanks for your earlier response and your syntax works fine but it only fails 
if I have a remote device for example rd=backup1:/dev/nst1 

Nsradmin expects the name to be put as follows: 

Name: "rd=backup1:/dev/nst1"  it does not like the : between the backup1 and 
/dev/nst1. I get the following error

Resource parse error: unterminated value list
      name: rd=backup1:/dev/nst1
                      ^

Could you or anyone help on this. I tried putting name: "$DEV" but it doesn't 
seem to help.

Thanks

Somen

Third time lucky - curse that web interface....

#!/bin/ksh
DEV=$1
echo "
    . type: NSR device;
      name: $DEV
    update enabled: Yes" \
        ¦ nsradmin -i -
