<title>Description</title>
<para>The <emphasis role="bold">backup volinfo</emphasis> command displays a dump history of the specified
volume, reporting information such as the date on which the volume was
dumped and the tapes that contain it. Include the <computeroutput>.backup</computeroutput> extension on
the volume name if the backup version of the volume was dumped.</para>

<title>Options</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">-volume</emphasis> &lt;<emphasis>volume name</emphasis>&gt;</term>
<listitem>
<para>Names the volume for which to display the dump history. Include the
<computeroutput>.backup</computeroutput> or <computeroutput>.readonly</computeroutput> extension if the backup or read-only version of
the volume was dumped.</para>
</listitem>

<listitem>
<para>Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local

it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual
authentication. Do not combine this flag with the <emphasis role="bold">-cell</emphasis> argument. For
more details, see <link linkend="backup8">backup(8)</link>.</para>

<title>Output</title>
<para>The output includes a line for each Backup Database dump record that
mentions the specified volume, order from most to least recent. The output
for each record appears in a table with six columns:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>dumpID</term>
<listitem>
<para>The dump ID of the dump that includes the volume.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>lvl</term>
<listitem>
<para>The depth in the dump hierarchy of the dump level at which the volume was
dumped. A value of <computeroutput>0</computeroutput> indicates a full dump. A value of <computeroutput>1</computeroutput> or greater
indicates an incremental dump made at the specified depth in the dump
hierarchy.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>parentid</term>
<listitem>
<para>The dump ID of the dump's parent dump. A value of <computeroutput>0</computeroutput> indicates a full
dump, which has no parent; in this case, the value in the <computeroutput>lvl</computeroutput> column is
also <computeroutput>0</computeroutput>.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>creation date</term>
<listitem>
<para>The date and time at which the Backup System started the dump operation
that created the dump.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>clone date</term>
<listitem>
<para>For a backup or read-only volume, the time at which it was cloned from its
read/write source. For a read/write volume, the same as the value in the
<computeroutput>creation date</computeroutput> field.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>tape name</term>
<listitem>
<para>The name of the tape containing the dump: either the permanent tape name,
or an AFS tape name in the format
<emphasis>volume_set_name</emphasis>.<emphasis>dump_level_name</emphasis>.<emphasis>tape_index</emphasis> where
<emphasis>volume_set_name</emphasis> is the name of the volume set associated with the
initial dump in the dump set of which this tape is a part;
<emphasis>dump_level_name</emphasis> is the name of the dump level at which the initial dump
was backed up; <emphasis>tape_index</emphasis> is the ordinal of the tape in the dump
set. Either type of name can be followed by a dump ID in parentheses; if
it appears, it is the dump ID of the initial dump in the dump set to which
this appended dump belongs.</para>
