NSR policy

The NSR policy resourcecontrols how long entries remain in a client's on-line file index, and when to mark a save set as recyclable. Each NSR client resource uses two policies, a browse policy and a retention policy. Each policy defines an amount of time determined by the period and the number of periods.

To edit the NSR policy resources for a Backup server use "nsradmin " or "nwadmin".

The NSR policy resource has the following attributes:

• The name attribute specifies the name of the policy defined by this resource. This name will appear as an option of each NSR client resource.

• The period attribute indicates the base unit for a policy as one of the following values:

  • Weeks, defined as 7 days

  • Months, defined 31 days

  • Years, defined as 366 days. Example: period: Months;

• The number of periods attribute specifies the number of base units to use.

  Following is an example of a NSR policy resource named Quarter:

  type: NSR policy; name: Quarter; period: Months; number of periods: 3;
