This completes the first editing pass of the man pages. Very little content editing has been done, but the server and client versions of various man pages have been combined into a single man page for the file (affects CellServDB, ThisCell, NetInfo, and NetRestrict), the descriptions of the various AFS cache files have been combined into one afs_cache man page, and the descriptions of the two butc log files have been combined into one butc_logs man page. For man pages for databases with two files, symlinks are now created on installation for the secondary file name. All of the man pages should now be ready for public review, additional editing and cleanup, and content editing.

BackupLog - Traces Backup Server operations
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The F<BackupLog> file records a trace of Backup Server (B<buserver>
|
|
process) operations on the local machine and describes any error
|
|
conditions it encounters.
|
|
|
|
If the F<BackupLog> file does not already exist in the F</usr/afs/logs>
|
|
directory when the Backup Server starts, the server process creates it and
|
|
writes initial start-up messages to it. If there is an existing file, the
|
|
Backup Server renames it to F<BackupLog.old>, overwriting the existing
|
|
F<BackupLog.old> file if it exists.
|
|
|
|
The file is in ASCII format. Administrators listed in the
|
|
F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file can use the B<bos getlog> command to display
|
|
its contents. Alternatively, log on to the machine and use a text editor
|
|
or a file display command such as the UNIX B<cat> command. By default, the
|
|
mode bits on the F<BackupLog> file grant the required C<r> (read)
|
|
permission to all users.
|
|
|
|
The Backup Server records operations only as it completes them, and so
|
|
cannot recover from failures by reviewing the file. The log contents are
|
|
useful for administrative evaluation of process failures and other
|
|
problems.
