You can only apply one global directive to a client; however you can combine with Networker User Local Directives (set in the file networkr.cfg in the root of a file system - this is created in the Networker User program) or with Local Directives (.nsr or nsr.dir files in directories which have a similar form to global directives).
My recommendation would be to keep it as central as possible. i.e. stick with global directives, even if it means you have to write several global directives to achieve your aims.
A further note - if you do go with multiple types of directives remember the precedence rules:
global directives > Networker user directives > local directives
A further note on directives - if you run a local (manual) backup from the GUI it runs as save -I (ignore local directives); global directives only apply to scheduled (server-initiated) backups.

How to see the difference between local and global directives? << / >> means the global one and < > means local to a particular server?
Please suggest.
Thanks,

Nope; global are applied on server side (within the client resourse) and local are applied at client OS itself.
