NAME

       backup_listdumps - Displays the dump hierarchy from the Backup Database

SYNOPSIS

       backup listdumps [-localauth] [-cell <cell name>] [-help]

       backup listd [-l] [-c <cell name>] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The backup listdumps command displays the dump hierarchy from the Backup Database.

OPTIONS

       -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.

OUTPUT

       The output displays the complete dump hierarchy and indicates the relationship between
       full and incremental dump levels. Full dump levels appear at the left margin. The
       hierarchy can include more than one full dump level; each one defines a subhierarchy of
       dump levels that can be used for dumping different volume sets.

       Incremental dump levels appear below and indented to the right of their parent dump
       levels, which can be either full or incremental. Since multiple incremental dump levels
       can share the same parent, an incremental dump level is not always directly below its
       parent; the amount of indentation indicates the parent/child relationship.

       If a dump level has an associated expiration date, it appears along with the level name.
       Absolute expiration dates appear in the format

          <dump_level> expires at <day month date time year>

       and relative expiration dates in the format

          <dump_level> expires in {<years>y | <months>m | <days>d}

       to indicate the number of years, months, days, or combination of the three after creation
       a dump expires when created at this level.

EXAMPLES

       The following example depicts six dump hierarchies. The expiration date for all
       incremental dump levels is 13 days so that the corresponding tapes can be recycled two
       weeks after their creation. The expiration dates for all full dump levels is 27 days so
       that the corresponding tapes can be recycled four weeks after their creation.

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.
