NAME

       backup_deldump - Deletes a dump level from the Backup Database

SYNOPSIS

       backup deldump -dump <dump level name> [-localauth]
           [-cell <cell name>] [-help]

       backup deld -d <dump level name> [-l]
           [-c <cell name>] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The backup deldump command deletes the indicated dump level and all of its child dump
       levels from the dump hierarchy in the Backup Database. Use the backup listdumps command to
       display the dump hierarchy.

OPTIONS

       -dump <dump level name>
           Specifies the complete pathname of the dump level to delete.

       -localauth
           Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile
           file. The backup command interpreter presents it to the Backup Server, Volume Server
           and VL Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell
           argument. For more details, see backup(8).

       -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 backup(8).

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

EXAMPLES

       The following command deletes the dump level "/sunday1/monday1" from the dump hierarchy,
       along with any of its child dump levels.

          % backup deldump /sunday1/monday1

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on every machine where
       the Backup Server is running, or must be logged onto a server machine as the local
       superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is included.
