19 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
20 | ||
21 | The B<backup addvolset> command creates a new volume set, by default | |
22 | adding it to the Backup Database. It is best that the volume set's name | |
23 | indicate the volume set's contents; for example, define the volume entries | |
24 | in the C<user> volume set to match all user volumes. The volume set name | |
25 | must be unique within the Backup Database of the local cell. | |
26 | ||
27 | After issuing this command, issue the B<backup addvolentry> command to | |
28 | define the volume entries in the volume set. | |
29 | ||
30 | Sometimes it is convenient to create volume sets without recording them | |
31 | permanently in the Backup Database, for example when using the B<backup | |
32 | volsetrestore> command to restore a group of volumes that were not | |
33 | necessarily backed up together. To create a I<temporary> volume set, | |
34 | include the B<-temporary> flag. A temporary volume set exists only during | |
35 | the lifetime of the current interactive session, so the flag is effective | |
36 | only when used during an interactive session (opened by issuing the | |
37 | B<backup interactive> command). If it is included when the command is | |
38 | issued at the regular command shell prompt, the command appears to | |
39 | succeed, but the volume set is not created. As noted, a temporary volume | |
40 | set ceases to exist when the current interactive session ends, or use the | |
41 | B<backup delvolset> command to delete it before that. | |
42 | ||
43 | One advantage of temporary volume sets is that the B<backup addvolset> | |
44 | command, and any B<backup addvolentry> commands subsequently used to add | |
45 | volume entries to it, complete more quickly than for regular volume sets, | |
46 | because no records are created in the Backup Database. | |
47 | ||
48 | =head1 OPTIONS | |
49 | ||
50 | =over 4 | |
51 | ||
52 | =item B<-name> <I<volume set name>> | |
53 | ||
54 | Names the new volume set. The name can include up to 31 of any character | |
55 | other than the period. Avoid other metacharacters as well. | |
56 | ||
57 | =item B<-temporary> | |
58 | ||
59 | Creates a volume set that exists only within the context of the current | |
60 | interactive session. It is not added to the Backup Database. | |
61 | ||
62 | =item B<-localauth> | |
63 | ||
64 | Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local | |
65 | F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<backup> command interpreter presents | |
66 | it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual | |
67 | authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument. For | |
68 | more details, see L<backup(8)>. | |
69 | ||
70 | =item B<-cell> <I<cell name>> | |
71 | ||
72 | Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument | |
73 | with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<backup(8)>. | |
74 | ||
75 | =item B<-help> | |
76 | ||
77 | Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are | |
78 | ignored. | |
79 | ||
80 | =back | |
81 | ||
82 | =head1 EXAMPLES | |
83 | ||
84 | The following command creates a volume set called C<sys>: | |
85 | ||
86 | % backup addvolset sys | |
87 | ||
88 | =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED | |
89 | ||
90 | The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on every | |
91 | machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged onto a | |
92 | server machine as the local superuser C<root> if the B<-localauth> flag is | |
93 | included. | |
