NetWorker 19.7 Snapshot Management Integration Guide

Configuring the psrollback.res file

The psrollback.res file is a resource file for NetWorker snapshot rollback with the following pathname:

• On UNIX

  /nsr/res/psrollback.res

• On Microsoft Windows

  C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\res

Before NetWorker performs a rollback it performs safety checks to verify that the operations will not overwrite any file, directory, partition, or volume that is outside of the save set. NetWorker uses the psrollback.res file to provide NetWorker with configuration information for the rollback.

This resource file contains the files, directories, partitions, and volumes to exclude from the rollback safety check. The rollback can overwrite the items that you list in this file.

The resource file includes the following features:

• You can add more files or directories to this file by using the following syntax rules:
  • At least one line per file or directory
  • Pathnames starting with a forward slash (/) are absolute pathnames, for example, /tmp
• The file supports the following items:
  • Directory or file pathname
  • File system
  • Block device of a managed or unmanaged raw device, for example, /dev/vg_01/vol1
  • The file does not support character devices
