Custom directive
Hello,
I understand out of the box NetWorker provides directives for encryption (aes) or compression (compressasm). I am interested in knowing if possible customers can develop their own custom directive to do their own type of data massage so that they can have both encryption of the compressed data.
Rather than using built-in directives like 'aes' or 'compressasm' we actually would want to develop our own asm, probably from the ground up and unsure if it is do'able.
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know there are no resources, you have to make it up yourself. The ASM they have here was written years ago by someone who has long since retired! Effectively what happens is the reference to the ASM in the directive is the same as calling a script which then processes the data in some way. You will have to experiment with it and see what you can come up with yourself!

David,
Great to hear this. Could you do me a favor and point me to some references which I can quick start on developing our own ASM? Thanks in advance.

It is possible to write your own ASM, we have used one here to do some processing on data before backup with a script referenced by the ASM; I'm not too sure whether you could write one to compress and encrypt a file as I am not sure of the logic behind doing one or the other.
