In regard to: [Networker] Major problem with directive - need help please,...:
Let's say '/0/data/joe' is the file system mount point. I have a custom
server side directive for NSR client resource 1 of 2 (group 1)
which includes the same lines from the Unix standard directives but also
includes the following line:
<< /0/data/joe >>
+null: .?* *
Resource 2 of 2 (group 2) uses the Unix standard directives (server side) and
lists the following save set:
/0/data/joe
Both groups are members of the same pool, and indexing is turned on for the
pool. Both client resources have a one month browse policy.
Since I want to be able to browse the backed up data, I'm using the '+null'
rather than a 'skip'. In my testing, I observed that if I run an
incremental on group 2 before running group 1 then everything is fine.
However, if I add, modify or update the time on any data
under /0/data/joe, and then I run group 1 before running group 2 then when I
subsequently run group 1, it backs up nothing.
I think that last bit is the most important clue, but I think you have a
typo there -- did you mean to say "then when I subsequently run group 2"?
Here's what I think you should try:
- modify your client #1 so that it does this
<< /0/data >>
+skip: joe
I recommend you try client 1 with skip, not null. I think null may be
causing the majority of your problem -- it's updating the index entries
for stuff under /0/data/joe, without giving you anything that you can
actually recover. Then when group 2 runs, there's nothing for an
incremental to back up, but the index already recorded what files changed
(without actually being backed up).
Client #2 shouldn't need to change.
Do a full backup of each client after making this directive change. Then
try incrementals. Report back on whether that makes a difference or not.
