21 <title>Description</title>
22 <para>The <emphasis role="bold">backup addvolset</emphasis> command creates a new volume set, by default
23 adding it to the Backup Database. It is best that the volume set's name
24 indicate the volume set's contents; for example, define the volume entries
25 in the <computeroutput>user</computeroutput> volume set to match all user volumes. The volume set name
26 must be unique within the Backup Database of the local cell.</para>
28 <para>After issuing this command, issue the <emphasis role="bold">backup addvolentry</emphasis> command to
29 define the volume entries in the volume set.</para>
31 <para>Sometimes it is convenient to create volume sets without recording them
32 permanently in the Backup Database, for example when using the <emphasis role="bold">backup
33 volsetrestore</emphasis> command to restore a group of volumes that were not
34 necessarily backed up together. To create a <emphasis>temporary</emphasis> volume set,
35 include the <emphasis role="bold">-temporary</emphasis> flag. A temporary volume set exists only during
36 the lifetime of the current interactive session, so the flag is effective
37 only when used during an interactive session (opened by issuing the
38 <emphasis role="bold">backup interactive</emphasis> command). If it is included when the command is
39 issued at the regular command shell prompt, the command appears to
40 succeed, but the volume set is not created. As noted, a temporary volume
41 set ceases to exist when the current interactive session ends, or use the
42 <emphasis role="bold">backup delvolset</emphasis> command to delete it before that.</para>
44 <para>One advantage of temporary volume sets is that the <emphasis role="bold">backup addvolset</emphasis>
45 command, and any <emphasis role="bold">backup addvolentry</emphasis> commands subsequently used to add
46 volume entries to it, complete more quickly than for regular volume sets,
47 because no records are created in the Backup Database.</para>
51 <title>Options</title>
54 <term><emphasis role="bold">-name</emphasis> <<emphasis>volume set name</emphasis>></term>
56 <para>Names the new volume set. The name can include up to 31 of any character
57 other than the period. Avoid other metacharacters as well.</para>
62 <term><emphasis role="bold">-temporary</emphasis></term>
64 <para>Creates a volume set that exists only within the context of the current
65 interactive session. It is not added to the Backup Database.</para>
70 <term><emphasis role="bold">-localauth</emphasis></term>
72 <para>Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
73 <replaceable>/usr/afs/etc/KeyFile</replaceable> file. The <emphasis role="bold">backup</emphasis> command interpreter presents
74 it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual
75 authentication. Do not combine this flag with the <emphasis role="bold">-cell</emphasis> argument. For
76 more details, see <link linkend="backup8">backup(8)</link>.</para>
81 <term><emphasis role="bold">-cell</emphasis> <<emphasis>cell name</emphasis>></term>
83 <para>Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
84 with the <emphasis role="bold">-localauth</emphasis> flag. For more details, see <link linkend="backup8">backup(8)</link>.</para>
89 <term><emphasis role="bold">-help</emphasis></term>
91 <para>Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are

109 <para>The issuer must be listed in the <replaceable>/usr/afs/etc/UserList</replaceable> file on every
110 machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged onto a
111 server machine as the local superuser <computeroutput>root</computeroutput> if the <emphasis role="bold">-localauth</emphasis> flag is
