nsr_directive question and incremental backup
Dear Experts!
Our client uses Networker 9 and we have to backup a file server with a large number of files.
The operating team creates the directive.
Our file server looks like:
J:\dir1 - small dir have to backup
J:\dir2 - small dir have to backup
J:\dir3 - big dir, have to backup
J:\dir4 - big dir, have to backup
.. etc
We have directive in the following format:
<< "J:\" >>
skip+: dir3
skip+: dir4
we have three clients:
1. client1, saveset: J:\ (with directive)
2. client1, saveset: J:\dir3
3. client1, saveset: J:\dir4
The full backup is ok, but the incremental backup of the 1.client1 ignores the directive and
want to backup also dir3 and dir4 directories.These directories are quite big, and we want to avoid to backup these.
Questions:
-------------
- How can i debug the directive error?
- What can cause this problem?
- Do the skip is good in this situation or null should i have to use?
Thanks in advance!

I think you just ade a typo - the directive should read as follows:
<< "J:\" >>
+skip: dir3
+skip: dir4

You seem to have typo again
You can also set client side directive and bypass those from server with save argument. In sam fashion, you pass debug flags to save command and see what happens.
