However, it annoys the hell out of me.<\/p>\n<p>Somewhere, someone in the development team at EMC got the bright idea for NetWorker 7.3 that for &#8220;usability&#8221; and &#8220;consistency&#8221; reasons, it would become necessary when depositing media to either:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Answer an inane question (i.e., sequence goes: put media in CAP, run nsrjb -d, get asked to answer &#8216;yes&#8217; to whether you want to import media or not)<\/li>\n<li>Remember to add a -Y option to the nsrjb -d command to automatically answer &#8216;yes&#8217; to the inane question.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, I do have a problem with this. In the first case, core behaviour was changed, and I don&#8217;t like that. Nor do I see a valid consistency reason &#8211; in nsrjb you&#8217;ve always been required to answer &#8216;yes&#8217; or to add a -Y to the command if you&#8217;re going to do something <em>destructive<\/em>, but depositing media <em>shouldn&#8217;t be deemed a destructive action<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;m the first to admit that where I need to, I <em>do<\/em>\u00a0use -Y, but don&#8217;t advocate that people get into the habit of using it except for when it is <em>really<\/em>\u00a0necessary.<\/p>\n<p>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":"<p>I know this is a minor quibble &#8211; and for the most part, minor quibbles sum up the issues that&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_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}},"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":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pKpIN-1V","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
