WARNING¶

  !!! USAGE IN PARALLEL WITH storeBackup.pl CAN DESTROY YOUR BACKUPS !!!

OPTIONS¶

--interactive, -i

    interactive mode for reparing / deleting currupted
    backups created with option '--lateLinks'
    

--backupDir, -b

    top level directory of all backups (must exist)
    

--autorepair, -a

    repair simple inconsistencies automaticly without
    requesting the action
    

--print

    print configuration read from configuration file and stop
    

--verbose, -v

    verbose messages
    

--debug, -d

    generate detailed information about the files
    with the linking information in it
    

--lockFile, -L

    lock file, if exist, new instances will finish if
    an old is already running
    If set to the same file as in storeBackup it will
    prevent $prog from running in parallel
    to storeBackup, default is $lockFile
    this type of lock files does not work across multiple servers
    and is not designed to separate storeBackup.pl and
    storeBackupUpdateBackup.pl or any other storeBackup
    process in a separate PID space
    Default lock file for root is in /var/lock, for others in \$HOME
    

--noCompress

    maximal number of parallel compress operations,
    default = choosen automatically
    

--checkOnly -c

    do not perform any action, only check consistency
    

--copyBackupOnly

    only do task to replicate incremental (lateLinks)
    backup; no hard linking, compression, etc.
    

--dontCopyBackup

    do not do any replication task to copy
    incremental (lateLink) backups
    NOTE: if used on the master cache, this option disrupts the data
    flow for replication!
    

--archiveDurationDeltaCache -A

    Duration after which already in backupCopy copied and linked
    backups will be deleted. This affects all series in
    deltacaches processedBackups directory.
    The duration has to be specified in format 'dhms', eg.
    10d4h means 10 days and 4 hours, default is 99d
    (similar to option keepAll in storeBackupDel.pl)
    

--dontDelInDeltaCache do not delete any backup in deltaCache

--createNewSeries -C

    Automatically create new series in deltaCache and the
    replication directory / directories. This is especially useful
    if you use wildcards to specify series name which should be
    added 'on the fly'
    

--progressReport

    print progress report:
    

--noWarningDiffSeriesInBackupCopy, -N

    do not write a warning if there is a different set of series
    inside the backup copy (replication directory) than in the
    actual deltaCache
    

--maxHardLinks

    maximum number of hard links to use
    zero (default) means limit depends on file system used only
    

--logFile, -l

    logFile, Default: stdout
    

--plusLogStdout

    if you specify a log file with --logFile you can
    additionally print the output to STDOUT with this flag
    

--suppressTime

    suppress output of time in logfile
    

--maxFilelen, -m

    maximal length of log file, default = 1e6
    

--noOfOldFiles, -n

    number of old log files, default = 5
    

--saveLogs

    save log files with date and time instead of deleting the
    old (with [-noOfOldFiles])
    

--compressWith

    compress saved log files (e.g. with 'gzip -9').
    default is 'bzip2'
    

--genBackupBaseTreeConf

    generate a template of the backup-copy configuration file
    for the backup directories (both source and target)
    

--genDeltaCacheConf

    generate a template of the backup-copy configuration file
    for the deltaCache directory
