3 backup interactive - Enters interactive mode
7 B<backup> [B<interactive>] [B<-localauth>] [B<-cell> <I<cell name>>] [-help]
9 B<backup> [B<i>] [B<-l>] [B<-c> <I<cell name>>] [-h]
13 The backup interactive initiates an interactive session for
14 issuing B<backup> commands. As indicated in the syntax
15 statement, the operation code (B<interactive>) is optional.
17 Several features of interactive mode distinguish it from regular
24 In interactive mode, the C<backup>> prompt replaces the system
25 (shell) prompt. The operator enters only a command's operation
26 code (omitting the command suite name, B<backup>).
31 If the B<-localauth> flag or the -cell argument is
32 included on the B<backup (interactive)> command, the settings apply to
33 all commands issued during that interactive session. The issuer does
34 not need to type them on every command. Another consequence is that the
35 flag and argument do not appear in the syntax statement generated by the
36 B<help> subcommand or B<-help> flag on an individual command
37 issued at the C<backup>> prompt.
42 The B<(backup) jobs> and (backup) kill commands are
43 available only in interactive mode. It is not possible to track and
44 terminate backup operations as cleanly in non-interactive mode.
49 It is not necessary to enclose strings that include metacharacters in
50 double quotes or other delimiters.
55 The backup command interpreter establishes a connection to the
56 Backup Server, Volume Server and Volume Location (VL) Server processes as it
57 enters interactive mode, and uses the same connection for all commands during
58 the session. Execution time can therefore be faster than in
59 non-interactive mode, in which the command interpreter must establish a new
60 connection for each command.
65 To exit an interactive session, issue the (backup) quit
74 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
75 B</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<backup> command
76 interpreter presents it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server
77 during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the
78 B<-cell> argument. For more details, see the introductory
79 B<backup> reference page.
83 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this
84 argument with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see the
85 introductory B<backup> reference page.
89 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
96 The following example shows how the -localauth flag and
97 B<-cell> argument do not appear when the B<help dump>
98 subcommand is issued in interactive mode.
103 Usage: dump [-volumeset <volume set name>] [-dump <dump level name>]
104 [-portoffset <TC port offset>] [-at <Date/time to start dump>+]
105 [-append ] [-n ] [-file <load file>] [-help ]
107 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
109 None. However, backup commands that require privilege in
110 regular mode still require it in interactive mode.
