Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

NetWorker User local directives

On Windows clients, users with local Windows Administrator or Backup Operator privileges can create local directives by using the NetWorker User program. These directives are stored on the client in a file named networkr.cfg.

1. Log in to the client computer as a member of either the local Windows Administrators or Backup Operators security group.
2. Start the NetWorker User Program.
3. From the Options menu, select Local Backup Directives.
4. Set the local directive for each data item. You can clear data items to exclude them from scheduled backups, and select items for password protection, encryption, and compression. This applies for both manual and scheduled saves.
   NOTE:If password protection or encryption is selected, the password must be specified first.
5. From the File menu, select Save Backup Directives to save changes.

   Depending on user privileges and the operating system version, the networkr.cfg file is created in one of the following locations:

   • If you are logged in with local Windows Administrator or Backup Operator privileges, networkr.cfg is created in the root of the system volume (usually C:\).

   • If you are not logged in with local Windows Administrator or Backup Operator privileges, networkr.cfg is created in %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\User_name\Application Data\EMC NetWorker.

     NOTE:The Application Data directories are hidden by default. To view these directories by using Windows Explorer, select Tools > Folder Options. On the View tab of the View Options dialog box, select the Show hidden files and folders option.
