I don't think you can. That's one of the reasons I think .nsr files are
evil. In environments I used to control, I would run a savepnpc command to
delete any .nsr files and let me know where they were so I could complain to
the right person.
The .nsr file that I tested (/opt/nsrdump/.nsr) looks like it should
work fine. It has the following lines:
skip: 2010-04-05
# Ignore (recursive) all .nsr files.
#ignore
To test, I ran a save command from the client as:
save -s server -n -l full -b pool /opt/nsrdump
It only reports the following:
Client initiated backup.Option '-l' is ignored and backup is performed
at level adhoc
66135:save: NSR directive file (/opt/nsrdump/.nsr) parsed
/opt/nsrdump/.nsr
/opt/nsrdump/lost+found/
/opt/nsrdump/
32477:save:
save: /opt/nsrdump 3 records 1 KB header 1 KB data
save: /opt/nsrdump 1 KB estimated
Next, I remarked out the 'skip' line and unremarked the ignore line. It
reports all files under nsrdump/2010-04-05, and the total agrees with
the size that I would expect to see.
I concur that '.nsr' files can cause headaches, and controlling things
from the server is often preferable, but there are times when a '.nsr'
file is preferred (in my opinion). In this case, /opt/nsrdump is a
special file system on the server created for a specific purpose, and
will not be used on a daily basis (only once in a while), so I'm not
concerned about losing track of the '.nsr' file or forgetting that it's
in place.

How can I force NetWorker to ignore all .nsr files? The file system in
question (/opt/nsrdump) lives on the server. This was something we created.
The backup will be run from the primary server, not from the client (e.g.
save command using '-i' option).
Do I simply create a client side directive as: /opt/nsrdump/.nsr with the
following two lines:
# Ignore (recursive) all .nsr files.
ignore
Or do I instead need something like:
# Ignore (recursive) all .nsr files.
<< ./ >>
ignore
Something else?
Thanks.
