DESCRIPTION
Use the evms_metadata_backup utility to save a copy of all the metadata that are used to build the segments (partitions), regions, containers (groups), and volumes in the system. The metadata are saved in a file named "evms-metadata-yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss", where "yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss" is the time of the backup.
OPTIONS
The following options can be used with evms_metadata_backup:
- -d, --debug-level debug_level
- Specify the amount of information that should be written to the log file. A numerical value between 0 and 9 can be specified, where a larger number generates more logging information. The following text values are also allowed:
critical serious error warning default details entry_exit debug extra everything
"Critical" generates the least information and "everything" generates the most information. The default debug level is "default" or "5."
- -l, --log-file log_file_name
- Specify the location of the log file. The default value is /var/log/evms-engine.log.
- -n, --node-name node_name
- Specify the node in the cluster on which the backup should be performed. The default value is the local node. If EVMS is not running in a cluster, this option is ignored.
- -q, --quiet
- Display only error messages.
- -v, --verbose
- Display verbose status information about the progress of the backup.
- -h, -?, --help
- Display a summary of the options available for evms_metadata_backup.
PARAMETERS
- directory
- Save the metadata backup file in this directory. The default directory is /var/evms/metadata-backups/. The directory can also be set with the "metadata_backup_dir" variable in the "engine" section of /etc/evms.conf.
