3 backup status - Reports a Tape Coordinator's status
7 B<backup status> [B<-portoffset> <I<TC port offset>>] [B<-localauth>]
8 [B<-cell> <I<cell name>>] [B<-help>]
10 B<backup st> [B<-p> <I<TC port offset>>] [B<-l>] [B<-c> <I<cell name>>]
15 The B<backup status> command displays which operation, if any, the
16 indicated Tape Coordinator is currently executing.
22 =item B<-portoffset> <I<TC port offset>>
24 Specifies the port offset number of the Tape Coordinator for which to
29 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
30 F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<backup> command interpreter presents
31 it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual
32 authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument. For
33 more details, see L<backup(8)>.
35 =item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
37 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
38 with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<backup(8)>.
42 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
49 The following message indicates that the Tape Coordinator is not currently
50 performing an operation:
52 Tape coordinator is idle
54 Otherwise, the output includes a message of the following format for each
55 running or pending operation:
57 Task <task_ID>: <operation>: <status>
65 Is a task identification number assigned by the Tape Coordinator. It
66 begins with the Tape Coordinator's port offset number.
70 Identifies the operation the Tape Coordinator is performing, which is
71 initiated by the indicated command:
77 The B<backup dump> command.
81 The B<backup diskrestore>, B<backup volrestore>, or B<backup
82 volsetrestore> commands.
86 The B<backup labeltape> command.
90 The B<backup scantape> command.
94 The B<backup savedb> command.
98 The B<backup restoredb> command.
104 Indicates the job's current status in one of the following messages.
108 =item I<number> Kbytes transferred, volume I<volume_name>
110 For a running dump operation, indicates the number of kilobytes copied to
111 tape or a backup data file so far, and the volume currently being dumped.
113 =item I<number> Kbytes, restore.volume
115 For a running restore operation, indicates the number of kilobytes copied
116 into AFS from a tape or a backup data file so far.
118 =item [abort requested]
120 The B<backup kill> command was issued, but the termination signal has yet
121 to reach the Tape Coordinator.
125 The operation is canceled by the B<backup kill> command. Once the Backup
126 System removes an operation from the queue or stops it from running, it no
127 longer appears at all in the output from the command.
129 =item [butc contact lost]
131 The B<backup> command interpreter cannot reach the Tape Coordinator. The
132 message can mean either that the Tape Coordinator handling the operation
133 was terminated or failed while the operation was running, or that the
134 connection to the Tape Coordinator timed out.
138 The Tape Coordinator has finished the operation.
142 The operation is waiting for the specified tape drive to become free.
144 =item [operator wait]
146 The Tape Coordinator is waiting for the backup operator to insert a tape
153 If the Tape Coordinator is communicating with an XBSA server (a
154 third-party backup utility that implements the Open Group's Backup Service
155 API [XBSA]), the following message appears last in the output:
157 <XBSA_program> Tape coordinator
159 where <XBSA_program> is the name of the XBSA-compliant program.
163 The following example shows that the Tape Coordinator with port offset 4
164 has so far dumped about 1.5 MB of data for the current dump operation, and
165 is currently dumping the volume named C<user.pat.backup>:
167 % backup status -portoffset 4
168 Task 4001: Dump: 1520 Kbytes transferred, volume user.pat.backup
170 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
172 The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on every
173 machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged onto a
174 server machine as the local superuser C<root> if the B<-localauth> flag is
