DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The  nnssrrdd  daemon  provides  an RPC-based save and recover
       service.  This service allows users to  save,  query  for,
       and recover their files across a network.  The RPC program
       number provided by nnssrrdd is 390103.

       Normally nnssrrdd is invoked from a startup shell script  (for
       example  _r_c_._l_o_c_a_l, _r_c_._b_o_o_t) at boot-time, and should never
       need to be started  directly  by  a  user.   After  it  is
       started, nnssrrdd starts up the other daemons it needs to pro-
       vide the NetWorker service.

       The nnssrrdd command must be run on a machine with appropriate
       resources.  These resources include such things as devices
       (e.g. tape drives) which are  under  the  control  of  the
       media multiplexor software, nnssrrmmmmdd(8), and sufficient disk
       space for  the  index  daemons,  nnssrriinnddeexxdd(8),  and  nnssrrmm--
       mmddbbdd(8),  to  maintain  the  index of user files that have
       been saved and which volumes contain which files.

       Each time a backup,  recover  or  various  other  sessions
       begin,  nnssrrdd starts another program, aannssrrdd, to process the
       requested session.  The aannssrrdd program is called an  _a_g_e_n_t.
       The agent is in charge of monitoring that backup, recover,
       or other session, and automatically exits when  a  session
       completes.   Using  ppss(1)  or  another  process monitoring
       tool, one can inspect the subsequent parameters  of  aannssrrdd
       to  see  what kind of session it is monitoring.  If neces-
       sary, agents can be forcibly terminated to abort a  backup
       or  recover  session.  Agents cannot be run directly; they
       can only be started by nnssrrdd.
