Glossary

resource	A component of the NetWorker software that
	describes the NetWorker server and its clients.
	Devices, schedules, clients, groups, and policies are
	examples of NetWorker resources. Each resource
	contains a list of attributes that define the parameters
	to use for the specific NetWorker resource.
resource database	A database that contains information about each of the
	configured backup server’s resources.
resource owner	The cluster (logical, not physical) host that owns the
	resource. If a resource (for example, a shared disk) is
	not owned by any virtual host, it is assumed to be
	owned by the local host (physical node) that hosts the
	resource.
retention policy	A policy that determines how long save set entries are
	retained in the NetWorker server’s media database.
retrieve	The process of locating and copying back files and
	directories that NetWorker software has archived.
retry mechanism	The action NetWorker software performs when client
	operations fail. This situation might occur when the
	rate of transmission is either low or nonexistent. By
	using this mechanism, a previously failed operation
	might be more successful. Another common situation
	whereby a retry mechanism might succeed is when
	the client is in a reboot cycle.
root	1. (UNIX only) The UNIX superuser account (with
	user name “root” and user ID). By extension, the
	privileged system-maintenance login on any
	operating system.
	2. (Windows NT/Windows 2000 and UNIX) The top
	node of the system directory structure; the home
	directory of the root user.
save set	A group of files or a filesystem from a single client
	computer backed up onto storage media.
