3 backup_addvolset - Creates a new (empty) volume set
10 B<backup addvolset> S<<< B<-name> <I<volume set name>> >>> [B<-temporary>]
11 [B<-localauth>] S<<< [B<-cell> <I<cell name>>] >>> [B<-help>]
13 B<backup addvols> S<<< B<-n> <I<volume set name>> >>> [B<-t>] [B<-l>]
14 S<<< [B<-c> <I<cell name>>] >>> [B<-h>]
21 The B<backup addvolset> command creates a new volume set, by default
22 adding it to the Backup Database. It is best that the volume set's name
23 indicate the volume set's contents; for example, define the volume entries
24 in the C<user> volume set to match all user volumes. The volume set name
25 must be unique within the Backup Database of the local cell.
27 After issuing this command, issue the B<backup addvolentry> command to
28 define the volume entries in the volume set.
30 Sometimes it is convenient to create volume sets without recording them
31 permanently in the Backup Database, for example when using the B<backup
32 volsetrestore> command to restore a group of volumes that were not
33 necessarily backed up together. To create a I<temporary> volume set,
34 include the B<-temporary> flag. A temporary volume set exists only during
35 the lifetime of the current interactive session, so the flag is effective
36 only when used during an interactive session (opened by issuing the
37 B<backup interactive> command). If it is included when the command is
38 issued at the regular command shell prompt, the command appears to
39 succeed, but the volume set is not created. As noted, a temporary volume
40 set ceases to exist when the current interactive session ends, or use the
41 B<backup delvolset> command to delete it before that.
43 One advantage of temporary volume sets is that the B<backup addvolset>
44 command, and any B<backup addvolentry> commands subsequently used to add
45 volume entries to it, complete more quickly than for regular volume sets,
46 because no records are created in the Backup Database.
52 =item B<-name> <I<volume set name>>
54 Names the new volume set. The name can include up to 31 of any character
55 other than the period. Avoid other metacharacters as well.
59 Creates a volume set that exists only within the context of the current
60 interactive session. It is not added to the Backup Database.
64 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
65 F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<backup> command interpreter presents
66 it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual
67 authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument. For
68 more details, see L<backup(8)>.
70 =item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
72 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
73 with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<backup(8)>.

84 The following command creates a volume set called C<sys>:

88 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
90 The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on every
91 machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged onto a
92 server machine as the local superuser C<root> if the B<-localauth> flag is
