| 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. |

| 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 | |

| 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. |
