I know this is a minor quibble – and for the most part, minor quibbles sum up the issues that I have with NetWorker. However, it annoys the hell out of me.<\/p>\n
Somewhere, someone in the development team at EMC got the bright idea for NetWorker 7.3 that for “usability” and “consistency” reasons, it would become necessary when depositing media to either:<\/p>\n
Now, I do have a problem with this. In the first case, core behaviour was changed, and I don’t like that. Nor do I see a valid consistency reason – in nsrjb you’ve always been required to answer ‘yes’ or to add a -Y to the command if you’re going to do something destructive<\/em>, but depositing media shouldn’t be deemed a destructive action<\/em>.<\/p>\n In the second case, administrators are going to get into the habit of automatically throwing a -Y option onto each nsrjb command they run. I’m the first to admit that where I need to, I do<\/em>\u00a0use -Y, but don’t advocate that people get into the habit of using it except for when it is really<\/em>\u00a0necessary.<\/p>\n Thus, my preference would be that some release of NetWorker would drop the inane question when a deposit is done, and just let the administrator or person running the deposit get on with the activity of moving tapes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I know this is a minor quibble – and for the most part, minor quibbles sum up the issues that…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[13,18,26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general-thoughts","category-quibbles","category-trivia"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
