7 B<backup status> [-portoffset <I<TC port offset>>]
8 [B<-localauth>] [B<-cell> <I<cell name>>] [B<-help>]
10 B<backup st> [B<-p> <I<TC port offset>>] [B<-l>] [B<-c> <I<cell name>>] [-h]
14 The backup status command displays which operation, if any, the
15 indicated Tape Coordinator is currently executing.
23 Specifies the port offset number of the Tape Coordinator for which to
28 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
29 B</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<backup> command
30 interpreter presents it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server
31 during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the
32 B<-cell> argument. For more details, see the introductory
33 B<backup> reference page.
37 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this
38 argument with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see the
39 introductory B<backup> reference page.
43 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
50 The following message indicates that the Tape Coordinator is not currently
51 performing an operation:
53 Tape coordinator is idle
55 Otherwise, the output includes a message of the following format for each
56 running or pending operation:
58 Task I<task_ID>: I<operation>: I<status>
67 Is a task identification number assigned by the Tape Coordinator.
68 It begins with the Tape Coordinator's port offset number.
73 Identifies the operation the Tape Coordinator is performing, which is
74 initiated by the indicated command:
80 C<Dump> (the backup dump command)
85 C<Restore> (the B<backup diskrestore>, backup
86 volrestore, or B<backup volsetrestore> commands)
91 C<Labeltape> (the backup labeltape command)
96 C<Scantape> (the backup scantape command)
101 C<SaveDb> (the backup savedb command)
106 C<RestoreDb> (the backup restoredb command)
114 Indicates the job's current status in one of the following
119 =item I<number C<Kbytes transferred, volume> I<volume_name>
122 For a running dump operation, indicates the number of kilobytes copied to
123 tape or a backup data file so far, and the volume currently being
126 =item I<number C<Kbytes, restore.volume>
129 For a running restore operation, indicates the number of kilobytes copied
130 into AFS from a tape or a backup data file so far.
132 =item C<[abort requested]
135 The (backup) kill command was issued, but the termination
136 signal has yet to reach the Tape Coordinator.
141 The operation is canceled by the (backup) kill command.
142 Once the Backup System removes an operation from the queue or stops it from
143 running, it no longer appears at all in the output from the command.
145 =item C<[butc contact lost]
148 The backup command interpreter cannot reach the Tape
149 Coordinator. The message can mean either that the Tape Coordinator
150 handling the operation was terminated or failed while the operation was
151 running, or that the connection to the Tape Coordinator timed out.
156 The Tape Coordinator has finished the operation.
161 The operation is waiting for the specified tape drive to become
164 =item C<[operator wait]
167 The Tape Coordinator is waiting for the backup operator to insert a tape
174 If the Tape Coordinator is communicating with an XBSA server (a third-party
175 backup utility that implements the Open Group's Backup Service API
176 [XBSA]), the following message appears last in the output:
178 I<XBSA_program> Tape coordinator
180 where I<XBSA_program> is the name of the XBSA-compliant
185 The following example shows that the Tape Coordinator with port offset 4
186 has so far dumped about 1.5 MB of data for the current dump operation,
187 and is currently dumping the volume named

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