Preconfigured global Directive resources

The NetWorker software includes a number of preconfigured global Directive resources. All preconfigured Directive resources can be modified, but they cannot be deleted.

The following table lists the preconfigured directives and their descriptions.

Table 1. Preconfigured directives
Directive resource	Description
AES	Encrypts backup data with the aes ASM, which provides 256-bit data encryption.
Mac OS with compression	Contains the same set of directives as the Mac OS standard directive, along with applying the compressasm ASM to specific directories.
Mac OS standard	Contains a set of directives that are used to back up standard Mac OS clients. Applies these ASMs: The skip ASM is applied to these files and directories: /Desktop DB /Desktop DF /cores /VM_Storage /TheVolumeSettingsFolder /private/var/db/netinfo /private/var/db/openldap /private/tmp /.Spotlight-V100 /.hotfiles.btree The allow save environment keyword is applied to the /nsr directory to ensure that local directives in /nsr and subsequent subdirectories are applied. The logasm ASM is applied to the /nsr/logs and /var directories. The swapasm ASM is applied to the /private/var/vm
NT standard	Is used to back up Windows clients. By default, this resource has no directives.
NT with compression	Used to back up and compress Windows clients. It applies the compressasm ASM to all files.
UNIX standard	Contains a set of directives that are used to back up standard UNIX clients. Applies these ASMs: The skip ASM is applied to the tmp_mnt directory. The skip ASM is applied to core files on the file system. The allow save environment keyword is applied to the /nsr directory to ensure that local directives in /nsr and subsequent subdirectories are applied. The skip ASM is applied to the /tmp directory. The swapasm ASM is applied to the /export/swap directory. If swap files are located in a different directory, modify this directive to use the appropriate directory. The logasm ASM is applied to the /nsr/logs, /var, /usr/adm, and /usr/spool directories. You can apply this ASM to other directories as well. The mailasm ASM is applied to the /usr/spool/mail and /usr/mail directories. If email files are located in different directories, modify these directives to use the appropriate locations.
UNIX with compression	Contains the same set of directives as the UNIX standard directive, along with applying the compressasm ASM to all files. This directive is only applied to save sets that contain directories. If the save set is defined by using a file name, this directive is not applied.
VCB directives	VCB directives are valid for backing up virtual machines using the VCB methodology. This directive is supported in the following scenarios: When file level incremental backups are performed instead of FULL image level backups. When FULL file level or incremental file level backups are performed when the save set is ALLVMFS. The vcb directive skips the following files and folders: pagefile.sys hiberfil.sys (Hibernation file) WINDOWS\system folder WINDOWS\System32 folder
