       nsr_policy - NetWorker resource type ``NSR policy''

       ttyyppee:: NNSSRR ppoolliiccyy

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       Each NetWorker policy is described by a single resource of
       type NNSSRR ppoolliiccyy (see nnssrr__rreessoouurrccee(5)).  To  edit  the  NNSSRR
       ppoolliiccyy resources for a NetWorker server, type:
              nsradmin -c "type:NSR policy"
       See  nnssrraaddmmiinn(8)  for  more  information on using the Net-
       Worker administration program.

       These resources control  how  long  entries  remain  in  a
       client's on-line file index and when to mark a save set as
       recyclable.  Each NNSSRR cclliieenntt resource (see  nnssrr__cclliieenntt(5))
       uses two policies, a browse policy and a retention policy.
       Policies can only be deleted if no clients are using them.

       Each policy defines an amount of time.  The amount of time
       is determined by the _p_e_r_i_o_d and the _n_u_m_b_e_r _o_f _p_e_r_i_o_d_s.

AATTTTRRIIBBUUTTEESS
       The following attributes are defined for resource type NNSSRR
       ppoolliiccyy.   The information in parentheses describes how the
       attribute values are accessed.  CCrreeaattee--oonnllyy indicates that
       the  value  cannot be changed by an administrator once the
       resource is created.  RReeaadd//wwrriittee means the  value  can  be
       set  as well as read at any time.  Several additional hid-
       den attributes (e.g., administrator)  are  common  to  all
       resources, and are described in nnssrr__rreessoouurrccee(5).

       nnaammee      (create-only)
              This  attribute  contains  the  name  of the policy
              defined by this resource.  The name must be  unique
              for  this  NetWorker  server,  but otherwise can be
              anything that makes  sense  to  the  administrator.
              This name will appear as a choice attribute of each
              NSR client  resource.   The  NNSSRR  ppoolliiccyy  resources
              named "Quarter" and "Year" may be modified, but may
              not be removed.  The name  can  only  be  specified
              when the group is created.
              _E_x_a_m_p_l_e_: name: life cycle;

       ppeerriioodd         (read/write)
              The  period  attribute determines the base unit for
              this policy.  It may be one of four  values:  DDaayyss,
              WWeeeekkss,  MMoonntthhss  or  YYeeaarrss..   A week is defined as 7
              days, a month as 31 days, and a year as 366 days.
              _E_x_a_m_p_l_e_: period: Months;

       nnuummbbeerr ooff ppeerriiooddss(read/write)
              The  number  of  periods  attribute  specifies  the

EEXXAAMMPPLLEE
       The  following NNSSRR ppoolliiccyy resource named "Quarter" defines
       a period of 3 months, or one quarter of a year:


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