24 The B<vos copy> command makes a copy of a volume with a new name. It is
25 equivalent to B<vos dump> followed by B<vos restore>, but doesn't require
26 the volume be stored locally by the client.
30 Currently, the maximum size of a volume is 2 terabytes (2^31 bytes).
36 =item [B<-id>] <I<volume name or ID>>
38 Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of a read/write
41 =item [B<-fromserver>] <I<machine name for source>>
43 Identifies the file server machine where the source volume resides. Provide
44 the machine's IP address or its host name (either fully qualified or using
45 an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see L<vos(1)>.
47 =item [B<-frompartition>] <I<partition name for source>>
49 Names the partition where the source volume resides. Provide the full
50 partition name (for, example, B</vicepa>) or one of the abbreviated forms
51 described in L<vos(1)>.
53 =item [B<-toname>] <I<volume name for new copy>>
55 The complete name of the new volume to create.
57 =item [B<-toserver>] <I<machine name for destination>>
59 Identifies the file server machine to which to copy the volume. Provide
60 the machine's IP address or its host name (either fully qualified or using
61 an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see L<vos(1)>.
63 =item [B<-topartition>] <I<partition name for destination>>
65 Names the partition to which to copy the volume. Provide the full partition
66 name (for, example, B</vicepa>) or one of the abbreviated forms described in
71 Leaves the new volume flagged as off-line in the volume database.
75 Flags the new volume as read-only in the volume database.
79 Copies the live volume without cloning. This is normally not necessary and
80 causes the volume to be kept locked for longer than the normal copy
85 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
86 F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<vos> command interpreter presents it to
87 the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual
88 authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument or
89 B<-noauth> flag. For more details, see L<vos(1)>.
93 Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the command's
94 execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings and error messages
99 Encrypts the command so that the operation's results are not transmitted
100 across the network in clear text.
104 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
111 This command has no output unless C<-verbose> is specified or there is
116 The following example makes a verbose copy of the C<test> volume named
117 C<test2> in the cell C<localcell>. The volume and copy both reside on
118 C</vicepa> of C<server1>.

146 The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
147 machine specified with the B<-server> argument and on each database server
148 machine. If the B<-localauth> flag is included, the issuer must instead be
149 logged on to a server machine as the local superuser C<root>.
