3 backup addvolset - Creates a new (empty) volume set

14 The backup addvolset command creates a new volume set, by
15 default adding it to the Backup Database. It is best that the volume
16 set's name indicate the volume set's contents; for example,
17 define the volume entries in the B<user> volume set to match all user
18 volumes. The volume set name must be unique within the Backup Database
21 After issuing this command, issue the backup addvolentry command
22 to define the volume entries in the volume set.
24 Sometimes it is convenient to create volume sets without recording them
25 permanently in the Backup Database, for example when using the B<backup
26 volsetrestore> command to restore a group of volumes that were not
27 necessarily backed up together. To create a I<temporary> volume
28 set, include the B<-temporary> flag. A temporary volume set
29 exists only during the lifetime of the current interactive session, so the
30 flag is effective only when used during an interactive session (opened by
31 issuing the B<backup interactive> command). If it is included
32 when the 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 session
35 ends, or use the B<backup delvolset> command to delete it before
38 One advantage of temporary volume sets is that the backup
39 addvolset command, and any B<backup addvolentry> commands
40 subsequently used to add volume entries to it, complete more quickly than for
41 regular volume sets, because no records are created in the Backup
50 Names the new volume set. The name can include up to 31 of any
51 character other than the period. Avoid other metacharacters as
56 Creates a volume set that exists only within the context of the current
57 interactive session. It is not added to the Backup Database.
61 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
62 B</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<backup> command
63 interpreter presents it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server
64 during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the
65 B<-cell> argument. For more details, see the introductory
66 B<backup> reference page.
70 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this
71 argument with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see the
72 introductory B<backup> reference page.

89 The issuer must be listed in the /usr/afs/etc/UserList file on
90 every machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged onto a
91 server machine as the local superuser B<root> if the
92 B<-localauth> flag is included.
