NAME

vos_backup - Creates a backup volume for a single read/write volume

SYNOPSIS

vos backup -id <volume name or ID> [-cell <cell name>]
    [-noauth] [-localauth] [-verbose] [-help]

vos backup -i <volume name or ID> [-c<cell name>]
    [-n] [-l] [-v] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

The vos backup command clones the indicated read/write volume to create a backup version, placing it at the same site as the read/write version. The backup volume's name is the same as the read/write source's with the addition of the ".backup" extension. Its volume ID number is the one allocated for it in the Volume Location Database (VLDB) when the read/write source was created with the vos create command. If a backup version already exists, the new clone replaces it.

To create a backup version of multiple volumes, use the vos backupsys command.

OPTIONS

-id <volume name or ID>
Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of the read/write source volume.
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).
-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The vos command interpreter presents it to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument or -noauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).
-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.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

OUTPUT

The following message confirms that the command succeeded:
    Created backup volume for I<volume name>
 
 

EXAMPLES

The following example creates a backup version of the volume "user.smith".
    % vos backup user.smith
    Created backup volume for user.smith
 
 

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the machine specified with the -server argument and on each database server machine. If the -localauth flag is included, the issuer must instead be logged on to a server machine as the local superuser "root".
