PROGRAM:

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]
[-encrypt] [-noresolve] [-help]

vos backup -i <volume name or ID> [-c <cell name>]
[-noa] [-l] [-v] [-e] [-nor] [-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.

-encrypt
Encrypts the command so that the operation's results are not transmitted across the
network in clear text. This option is available in OpenAFS versions 1.4.11 or later
and 1.5.60 or later.

-noresolve
Shows all servers as IP addresses instead of the DNS name. This is very useful when
the server address is registered as 127.0.0.1 or when dealing with multi-homed
servers. This option is available in OpenAFS versions 1.4.8 or later and 1.5.35 or
later.

-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".
