[Networker] Directive question?

Hi,

Another stupid directive question. I want to back up everything under/data/od/fhwbut for the gg1 subdirectory, I only want to include data under thefollowing two areas:


gg1/images/cloud
gg1/input

Otherwise, I want to skip everything else under gg1. I can think of twosolutions,

and wanted to ask for advice on this, and/or if there's a better way:

1. If I have one NSR client resource with the following save set:
/data/od/fhw

would this server side directive accomplish this ???:
<< /data/od/fhw/gg1 >>
+null: .?* *
<< /data/od/fhw/gg1/images/cloud >>
forget
<< /data/od/fhw/gg1/input >>
forget

The man page for nsr (`man -S 5 nsr`) says:

forget

Forget all inherited directives (those starting with a "+" in parentdirectories)."

I'm not sure if the second two are inherited since they don't begin with'./' ? Theexample in the man page shows './blah-blah-blah'. Anyway, I'm assumingI'd haveto have '+' in front of the 'null' to force it to process the next twolines for 'images/cloud'and 'input'; otherwise, if I use 'null' instead then it will just stopon gg1 and not see thetwo forget lines for the other two areas? That right? Also, ditto forusing 'skip' instead

of '+skip', correct?

I actually want to keep the index entries for those two areas under gg1,so I was thinking

'null' instead of 'skip'.

2. I know I can accomplish this with two NSR client resources. Resource1 could specify

the following save set:
/data/od/fhw

with a server side directive as:
<< /data/od/fhw/gg1 >>
+null: .?* *

Resource 2 could specify the following two save sets:
/data/od/fhw/gg1/images/cloud
/data/od/fhw/gg1/input

with the 'Unix standard directives'.

I think that will work, but I'd like to be able to do this with one NSRclient resource instead of two.


Thanks.

George
