NAME
backup_dumpinfo - Displays a dump record from the Backup Database
SYNOPSIS
backup dumpinfo [-ndumps <number of dumps>]
[-id <dump id>] [-verbose] [-localauth]
[-cell <cell name>] [-help]
backup dumpi [-n <no. of dumps>] [-i <dump id>] [-v]
[-l] [-c <cell name>] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The backup dumpinfo command formats and displays the Backup Database record for the
specified dumps. To specify how many of the most recent dumps to display, starting with
the newest one and going back in time, use the -ndumps argument. To display more detailed
information about a single dump, use the -id argument. To display the records for the 10
most recent dumps, omit both the -ndumps and -id arguments.
The -verbose flag produces very detailed information that is useful mostly for debugging
purposes. It can be combined only with the -id argument.
OPTIONS
-ndumps <number of dumps>
Displays the Backup Database record for each of the specified number of dumps that
were most recently performed. If the database contains fewer dumps than are requested,
the output includes the records for all existing dumps. Do not combine this argument
with the -id or -verbose options; omit all options to display the records for the last
10 dumps.
-id <dump id>
Specifies the dump ID number of a single dump for which to display the Backup Database
record. Precede the dump id value with the -id switch; otherwise, the command
interpreter interprets it as the value of the -ndumps argument. Combine this argument
with the -verbose flag, but not with the -ndumps argument; omit all options to display
the records for the last 10 dumps.
-verbose
Provides more detailed information about the dump specified with the -id argument,
which must be provided along with it. Do not combine this flag with the -ndumps
argument.
-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
If the -ndumps argument is provided, the output presents the following information in
table form, with a separate line for each dump:
dumpid
The dump ID number.
parentid
The dump ID number of the dump's parent dump. A value of 0 (zero) identifies a full
dump.
lv The depth in the dump hierarchy of the dump level used to create the dump. A value of
0 (zero) identifies a full dump, in which case the value in the "parentid" field is
also 0. A value of 1 or greater indicates an incremental dump made at the
corresponding level in the dump hierarchy.
created
The date and time at which the Backup System started the dump operation that created
the dump.
nt The number of tapes that contain the data in the dump. A value of 0 (zero) indicates
that the dump operation was terminated or failed. Use the backup deletedump command to
remove such entries.
nvols
The number of volumes from which the dump includes data. If a volume spans tapes, it
is counted twice. A value of 0 (zero) indicates that the dump operation was terminated
or failed; the value in the "nt" field is also 0 in this case.
dump name
The dump name in the form
<volume_set_name>.<dump_level_name> (<initial_dump_ID>)
where <volume_set_name> is the name of the volume set, and <dump_level_name> is the
last element in the dump level pathname at which the volume set was dumped.
The <initial_dump_ID>, if displayed, is the dump ID of the initial dump in the dump
set to which this dump belongs. If there is no value in parentheses, the dump is the
initial dump in a dump set that has no appended dumps.
If the -id argument is provided alone, the first line of output begins with the string
"Dump" and reports information for the entire dump in the following fields:
id The dump ID number.
level
The depth in the dump hierarchy of the dump level used to create the dump. A value of
0 (zero) identifies a full dump. A value of 1 (one) or greater indicates an
incremental dump made at the specified level in the dump hierarchy.
volumes
The number of volumes for which the dump includes data.
created
The date and time at which the dump operation began.
If an XBSA server was the backup medium for the dump (rather than a tape device or backup
data file), the following line appears next:
Backup Service: <XBSA_program>: Server: <hostname>
where <XBSA_program> is the name of the XBSA-compliant program and <hostname> is the name
of the machine on which the program runs.
Next the output includes an entry for each tape that houses volume data from the dump.
Following the string "Tape", the first two lines of each entry report information about
that tape in the following fields:
name
The tape's permanent name if it has one, or its AFS tape name otherwise, and its tape
ID number in parentheses.
nVolumes
The number of volumes for which this tape includes dump data.
created
The date and time at which the Tape Coordinator began writing data to this tape.
Following another blank line, the tape-specific information concludes with a table that
includes a line for each volume dump on the tape. The information appears in columns with
the following headings:
Pos The relative position of each volume in this tape or file. On a tape, the counter
begins at position 2 (the tape label occupies position 1), and increments by one for
each volume. For volumes in a backup data file, the position numbers start with 1 and
do not usually increment only by one, because each is the ordinal of the 16 KB offset
in the file at which the volume's data begins. The difference between the position
numbers therefore indicates how many 16 KB blocks each volume's data occupies. For
example, if the second volume is at position 5 and the third volume in the list is at
position 9, that means that the dump of the second volume occupies 64 KB (four 16-KB
blocks) of space in the file.
Clone time
For a backup or read-only volume, the time at which it was cloned from its read/write
source. For a Read/Write volume, it is the same as the dump creation date reported on
the first line of the output.
Nbytes
The number of bytes of data in the dump of the volume.
Volume
The volume name, complete with ".backup" or ".readonly" extension if appropriate.
If both the -id and -verbose options are provided, the output is divided into several
sections:
• The first section, headed by the underlined string "Dump", includes information about
the entire dump. The fields labeled "id", "level", "created", and "nVolumes" report
the same values (though in a different order) as appear on the first line of output
when the -id argument is provided by itself. Other fields of potential interest to
the backup operator are:
Group id
The dump's group ID number, which is recorded in the dump's Backup Database record
if the "GROUPID" instruction appears in the Tape Coordinator's
/var/lib/openafs/backup/CFG_tcid file when the dump is created.
maxTapes
The number of tapes that contain the dump set to which this dump belongs.
Start Tape Seq
The ordinal of the tape on which this dump begins in the set of tapes that contain
the dump set.
• For each tape that contains data from this dump, there follows a section headed by the
underlined string "Tape". The fields labeled "name", "written", and "nVolumes" report
the same values (though in a different order) as appear on the second and third lines
of output when the -id argument is provided by itself. Other fields of potential
interest to the backup operator are:
expires
The date and time when this tape can be recycled, because all dumps it contains
have expired.
nMBytes Data and nBytes Data
Summed together, these fields represent the total amount of dumped data actually
from volumes (as opposed to labels, filemarks, and other markers).
KBytes Tape Used
The number of kilobytes of tape (or disk space, for a backup data file) used to
store the dump data. It is generally larger than the sum of the values in the
"nMBytes Data" and "nBytes Data" fields, because it includes the space required
for the label, file marks and other markers, and because the Backup System writes
data at 16 KB offsets, even if the data in a given block doesn't fill the entire
16 KB.
• For each volume on a given tape, there follows a section headed by the underlined
string "Volume". The fields labeled "name", "position", "clone", and "nBytes" report
the same values (though in a different order) as appear in the table that lists the
volumes in each tape when the -id argument is provided by itself. Other fields of
potential interest to the backup operator are:
id The volume ID.
tape
The name of the tape containing this volume data.
EXAMPLES
The following example displays information about the last five dumps:
% backup dumpinfo -ndumps 5
dumpid parentid lv created nt nvols dump name
924424000 0 0 04/18/1999 04:26 1 22 usr.sun (924424000)
924685000 924424000 1 04/21/1999 04:56 1 62 usr.wed (924424000)
924773000 924424000 1 04/22/1999 05:23 1 46 usr.thu (924424000)
924860000 924424000 1 04/23/1999 05:33 1 58 usr.fri (924424000)
925033000 0 0 04/25/1999 05:36 2 73 sys.week
The following example displays a more detailed record for a single dump.
% backup dumpinfo -id 922097346
Dump: id 922097346, level 0, volumes 1, created Mon Mar 22 05:09:06 1999
Tape: name monday.user.backup (922097346)
nVolumes 1, created 03/22/1999 05:09
Pos Clone time Nbytes Volume
1 03/22/1999 04:43 27787914 user.pat.backup
The following example displays even more detailed information about the dump displayed in
the previous example (dump ID 922097346). This example includes only one exemplar of each
type of section ("Dump", "Tape", and "Volume"):
% backup dumpinfo -id 922097346 -verbose
