DESCRIPTION¶

This script does the following:

- checks an nfs server with ping

- mounts that server via a list of mount points

- starts storeBackup (with a config file)

- umounts that server

OPTIONS¶

--help

    show this help
    

--generate, -g

    generate a template of the configuration file
    

--file, -f

    configuration file (instead of or additionally to options
    on command line)
    

--servers, -s

    name(s) or ip address(es) of the nfs server(s)
    This option can be repeated multiple times
    

--debug, -d

    generate some debug messages
    

--logFile, -l

    logFile for this process.
    default is STDOUT.
    

--suppressTime

    suppress output of time in logfile
    

--maxFilelen, -m

    maximal length of log file, default = 1e6
    

--noOfOldFiles, -n

    number of old log files, default = 5
    

--saveLogs

    save log files with date and time instead of deleting the
    old (with [-noOfOldFiles])
    

--compressWith

    compress saved log files (e.g. with 'gzip -9')
    default is 'bzip2'
    This parameter is parsed like a line in the configuration
    file and normally has to be quoted.
    

--storeBackup

      run storeBackup.pl
      use this parameter as options for storeBackup.pl
      This parameter is parsed like the line in the
      configuration file and normally has to be quoted,
      eg. '-f stbu.conf'
    

--storeBackupUpdateBackup

      run storeBackupUpdateBackup.pl
      use this parameter as options for storeBackupUpdateBackup.pl
      This parameter is parsed like the line in the
      configuration file and normally has to be quoted,
      eg. '-b /backupDir'
    

--storeBackupCheckBackup

      run storeBackupCheckBackup.pl
      use this parameter as options for storeBackupCheckBackup.pl
      This parameter is parsed like the line in the
      configuration file and normally has to be quoted,
      eg. '-c /backupDir'
    

--storeBackupCheckSource

      run storeBackupCheckSource.pl
      use this parameter as options for storeBackupCheckSource.pl
      This parameter is parsed like the line in the
      configuration file and normally has to be quoted,
      eg. '-s /home/bob -b /backupDir'
    

--storeBackupDel

      run storeBackupDel.pl
      use this parameter as options for storeBackupDel.pl
      This parameter is parsed like the line in the
      configuration file and normally has to be quoted,
      eg. '-f stbu.conf'
    

--printAndStop, -p

      print options and stop processing
    

--killTime -k

    time until any of the programs started will be killed.
    default is 365 days.
    the time range has to be specified in format 'dhms', e.g.
    10d4h means 10 days and 4 hours
    

--tmpdir, -T

    directory for temporary files, default is </tmp>
    

mountPoints

    List of mount points needed to perform the backup.
    This must be a list of paths which have to be
    defined in /etc/fstab.
    -
    if you add 'ro,' or 'rw,' to the beginning of a mount
    point, you can overwrite that option set in /etc/fstab
    example:
    ro,/fileSystemToRead
       will mount /fileSystemToRead read only, even if the
       corresponding entry in /etc/fstab mounts is read/write
    only root is allowed to use this feature!
