I'm having trouble getting a client side directive to work properly. I have considered using a server side directive, but the server side directive is getting a bit long already, and I've heard that if it exceeds a certain length, there can be problems? We're running an older release (6.1.1 on Solaris), and this problem may have been fixed in subsequent releases. Anyway, I have two nsr client resources. Resource 1 of 2 lists the following saveset:

/a/exports/data/data0

and uses 'Unix standard directives'

Resource 2 of 2 lists 'All' and also uses a custom directive to skip and/or null some other path names, but not data0. Additionally, for the client, I have the following client side directive located under /a/exports/data:

<< data0 >>
+null: .?* *

When I run resource 1 of 2, nothing gets backed up. I guess I don't understand why the .nsr file would affect this since it's located one level up from the path (/a/exports/data/0-data) that's specified. I would understand if it was located inside data0, but it's not. I want the index entries to remain after resource 2 of 2 runs, so this is why I have the null directive. How can I do this if I want to use a client side directive?

Obviously, I can't put a .nsr file inside data0 since this would force both resources to always null it. Likewise, if I specify "<< /a/exports/data/data0 >>" same problem. If I try something like: "null: data0" then that will only null out the directory and not it's contents. I'm concerned about adding yet more entries to the server side custom directive that I already have in place, so how can I do this?

Thanks.
