14 The C<backup addvolset> command creates a new volume set, by default
15 adding it to the Backup Database. It is best that the volume set's
16 name indicate the volume set's contents; for example, define the
17 volume entries in the user volume set to match all user volumes. The
18 volume set name must be unique within the Backup Database of the local
21 After issuing this command, issue the C<backup addvolentry> command to
22 define the volume entries in the volume set.
24 Sometimes it is convenient to create volume sets without recording
25 them permanently in the Backup Database, for example when using the
26 C<backup volsetrestore> command to restore a group of volumes that were
27 not necessarily backed up together. To create a I<temporary> volume set,
28 include the B<-temporary> flag. A temporary volume set exists only during
29 the lifetime of the current interactive session, so the flag is
30 effective only when used during an interactive session (opened by
31 issuing the C<backup interactive> command). If it is included when the
32 command is issued at the regular command shell prompt, the command
33 appears to succeed, but the volume set is not created. As noted, a
34 temporary volume set ceases to exist when the current interactive
35 session ends, or use the C<backup delvolset> command to delete it before
38 One advantage of temporary volume sets is that the C<backup addvolset>
39 command, and any C<backup addvolentry> commands subsequently used to add
40 volume entries to it, complete more quickly than for regular volume
41 sets, because no records are created in the Backup Database.
