You have two options:
- if you want your lists of what gets skipped or backed up specially to
be stored on the backup server, you create new directives, possibly
one
for each client, using the tools on the server. You then assign the
directive to the client. You can do this using a GUI (I assume that
option is available in the new Java GUI with 7.3.x, I haven't looked
very closely at it yet) or with the nsradmin command.
If you do it this way, the new directives are stored in resource
format,
somewhere under /nsr/res/nsrdb. You can use nsradmin to dump them to
to stdout or to a file if you want. Taking the file that the GUI
creates and pulling out just the directive is a good way to get
started
writing directives for the second option.
- if you want the list of skipped/special stuff stored on the client
itself, you create a file named .nsr (for UNIX/Linux, for Windows or
NetWare it's called something different that escapes me at the
moment)
and put the same kind of directive information into that file. With
.nsr files, you can have multiple files on the client if you want, or
you can consolidate the directives into a .nsr file that's higher up
on
the filesystem.
See the man pages for nsr(5) and nsr_directive(5), and search the
archives for this list for "directive"
PS: There are lots of components to NetWorker, but as a NetWorker admin
the non-GUI commands you will want to familiarize yourself with the most
are probably
nsradmin
nsrjb
mminfo
You'll eventually want to know a lot more than that, but those are the
"big 3" in many environments.
