=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<vos backupsys> command clones each indicated read/write volume to
|
|
create a backup version, placing each clone at the same site as its
|
|
read/write source version. It assigns each clone the same name as the
|
|
read/write source, adding a C<.backup> extension. It assigns the volume ID
|
|
number already allocated for the backup version in the Volume Location
|
|
Database (VLDB). If a backup version already exists for a given volume,
|
|
the new clone replaces it.
|
|
|
|
To clone every read/write volume listed in the VLDB, omit all of the
|
|
command's options. Otherwise, combine the command's options to clone
|
|
various groups of volumes. The options use one of two basic criteria to
|
|
select volumes: location (the B<-server> and B<-partition> arguments) or
|
|
presence in the volume name of one of a set of specified character strings
|
|
(the B<-prefix>, B<-exclude>, and B<-xprefix> options).
|
|
|
|
To clone only volumes that reside on one file server machine, include the
|
|
B<-server> argument. To clone only volumes that reside on one partition,
|
|
combine the B<-server> and B<-partition> arguments. The B<-partition>
|
|
argument can also be used alone to clone volumes that reside on the
|
|
indicated partition on every file server machine. These arguments can be
|
|
combined with those that select volumes based on their names.
|
|
|
|
Combine the B<-prefix>, -exclude, and B<-xprefix> options (with or without
|
|
the B<-server> and B<-partition> arguments) in the indicated ways to
|
|
select volumes based on character strings contained in their names:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
To clone every read/write volume at the specified location whose name
|
|
includes one of a set of specified character strings (for example, begins
|
|
with C<user.> or includes the string C<afs>), use the B<-prefix> argument
|
|
or combine the B<-xprefix> and B<-exclude> options.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
To clone every read/write volume at the specified location except those
|
|
whose name includes one of a set of specified character strings, use the
|
|
B<-xprefix> argument or combine the B<-prefix> and B<-exclude> options.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
To clone every read/write volume at the specified location whose name
|
|
includes one of one of a set of specified character strings, except those
|
|
whose names include one of a different set of specified character strings,
|
|
combine the B<-prefix> and B<-xprefix> arguments. The command creates a
|
|
list of all volumes that match the B<-prefix> argument and then removes
|
|
from the list the volumes that match the B<-xprefix> argument. For
|
|
effective results, the strings specified by the B<-xprefix> argument must
|
|
designate a subset of the volumes specified by the B<-prefix> argument.
|
|
|
|
If the B<-exclude> flag is combined with the B<-prefix> and B<-xprefix>
|
|
arguments, the command creates a list of all volumes that do not match the
|
|
B<-prefix> argument and then adds to the list any volumes that match the
|
|
B<-xprefix> argument. As when the B<-exclude> flag is not used, the result
|
|
is effective only if the strings specified by the B<-xprefix> argument
|
|
designate a subset of the volumes specified by the B<-prefix> argument.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
The B<-prefix> and B<-xprefix> arguments both accept multiple values,
|
|
which can be used to define disjoint groups of volumes. Each value can be
|
|
one of two types:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
A simple character string, which matches volumes whose name begin with the
|
|
string. All characters are interpreted literally (that is, characters that
|
|
potentially have special meaning to the command shell, such as the period,
|
|
have only their literal meaning).
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
A regular expression, which matches volumes whose names contain the
|
|
expressions. Place a caret (C<^>) at the beginning of the expression, and
|
|
enclose the entire string in single quotes (C<''>). Explaining regular
|
|
expressions is outside the scope of this reference page; see the UNIX
|
|
manual page for regexp(5) or (for a brief introduction)
|
|
L<backup_addvolentry(8)>. As an example, the following expression matches
|
|
volumes that have the string C<aix> anywhere in their names:
|
|
|
|
-prefix '^.*aix'
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
To display a list of the volumes to be cloned, without actually cloning
|
|
them, include the B<-dryrun> flag. To display a statement that summarizes
|
|
the criteria being used to select volume, include the B<-verbose> flag.
|
|
|
|
This command can be used to clone a single read/write volume; specify its
|
|
complete name as the B<-prefix> argument. However, it is more efficient to
|
|
use the B<vos backup> command, which employs a more streamlined technique
|
|
for finding a single volume.
|
|
|
|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item B<-prefix> <I<common prefix>>
|
|
|
|
Specifies one or more simple character strings or regular expressions of
|
|
any length; a volume whose name includes the string is placed on the set
|
|
of volumes to be cloned. Include field separators (such as periods) if
|
|
appropriate. This argument can be combined with any combination of the
|
|
B<-server>, B<-partition>, B<-exclude>, and B<-xprefix> options.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-server> <I<machine name>>
|
|
|
|
Identifies the file server machine where each read/write source volume
|
|
resides. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name (either fully
|
|
qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see
|
|
L<vos(1)>.
|
|
|
|
This argument can be combined with any combination of the B<-prefix>,
|
|
B<-partition>, B<-exclude>, and B<-xprefix> options.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-partition> <I<partition name>>
|
|
|
|
Identifies the partition where each read/write source volume
|
|
resides. Provide the partition's complete name with preceding slash (for
|
|
example, C</vicepa>) or use one of the three acceptable abbreviated
|
|
forms. For details, see L<vos(1)>.
|
|
|
|
This argument can be combined with any combination of the B<-prefix>,
|
|
B<-server>, B<-exclude>, and B<-xprefix> options.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-exclude>
|
|
|
|
Reverses the meaning of the B<-prefix> or B<-xprefix> argument. This flag
|
|
can be combined with any combination of the B<-prefix>, B<-server>,
|
|
B<-partition>, and B<-xprefix> options.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-xprefix> <I<negative prefix>>
|
|
|
|
Specifies a simple character string or regular expression of any length; a
|
|
volume whose name includes the string is removed from the set of volumes
|
|
to be cloned. Include field separators (such as periods) if
|
|
appropriate. This argument can be combined with any combination of the
|
|
B<-prefix>, B<-server>, B<-partition>, and B<-exclude> options.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-dryrun>
|
|
|
|
Displays on the standard output stream a list of the volumes to be cloned,
|
|
without actually cloning them.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
|
|
|
|
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
|
|
with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<vos(1)>.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-noauth>
|
|
|
|
Assigns the unprivileged identity C<anonymous> to the issuer. Do not
|
|
combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see
|
|
L<vos(1)>.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-localauth>
|
|
|
|
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
|
|
F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<vos> command interpreter presents it
|
|
to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual
|
|
authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument or
|
|
B<-noauth> flag. For more details, see L<vos(1)>.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-verbose>
|
|
|
|
Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the command's
|
|
execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings and error messages
|
|
appear.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-help>
|
|
|
|
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
|
|
ignored.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
=head1 OUTPUT
|
|
|
|
The command generates the following messages on the standard output stream
|
|
to confirm that the operation was successful:
|
|
|
|
done
|
|
Total volumes backed up: <number_cloned>; failed to backup: <failures>
|
|
|
|
If the B<-dryrun> flag is included, a list of the volumes to be backed up
|
|
precedes the standard confirmation messages.
|
|
|
|
If the B<-verbose> flag is included but not the B<-dryrun> flag, the
|
|
following messages appear for each volume. The output concludes with the
|
|
standard confirmation messages.
|
|
|
|
Creating backup volume for <volume_name> on <date/time>
|
|
{Recloning backup volume | Creating a new backup clone} <backup_volumeID> . . .done
|
|
|
|
If both the B<-dryrun> and B<-verbose> flags are included, the output
|
|
begins with a statement summarizing the criteria being used to select the
|
|
volumes, followed by a list of the volumes and the standard confirmation
|
|
messages. The format of the criteria summary statement depends on which
|
|
other options are provided:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
If only the B<-prefix> argument is provided, or the B<-xprefix> and
|
|
B<-exclude> options are combined:
|
|
|
|
Would have backed up volumes which are prefixed with <string> [or <string>] . .
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
If only the B<-xprefix> argument is provided, or the B<-prefix> and
|
|
B<-exclude> options are combined:
|
|
|
|
Would have backed up volumes which are not prefixed with <string> [nor <string>] . .
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
If the B<-prefix> and B<-xprefix> arguments are combined:
|
|
|
|
Would have backed up volumes which are prefixed with <string> [or <string>] \
|
|
removing those which are prefixed with <x_string> [or <x_string>] . .
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
If the B<-prefix>, B<-xprefix>, and B<-exclude> options are provided:
|
|
|
|
Would have backed up volumes which are not prefixed with <string> [nor <string>] \
|
|
adding those which are prefixed with <x_string> [or <x_string>] . .
|
|

|
=back
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
The following example creates a backup version of every read/write volume
|
|
listed in the cell's VLDB whose name begins with the string B<user>.
|
|
|
|
% vos backupsys -prefix user
|
|
|
|
The following example, appropriate in the ABC Corporation cell, creates a
|
|
backup version of every read/write volume on the file server machine
|
|
C<fs3.abc.com>.
|
|
|
|
% vos backupsys -server fs3.abc.com
|
|
|
|
The following example, appropriate in the State University cell, creates a
|
|
backup version of every read/write volume on the file server machine
|
|
C<db1.stateu.edu> except those whose name includes the string C<temp>.
|
|
|
|
% vos backupsys -server db1.stateu.edu -prefix '^.*temp'
|
|
|
|
The following example creates a backup version of every volume listed in
|
|
the cell's VLDB, excluding those whose names contain the string C<source>,
|
|
but including those whose names contain the string C<source.current>.
|
|
|
|
% vos backupsys -prefix '^.*source' -exclude -xprefix '^.*source\.current'
|
|
|
|
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
|
|
|
|
The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
|
|
machine specified with the B<-server> argument and on each database server
|
|
machine. If the B<-localauth> flag is included, the issuer must instead be
|
|
logged on to a server machine as the local superuser C<root>.
