3 backup_jobs - Lists pending and running operations in interactive mode
19 The B<backup jobs> command lists the job ID number and status of each
20 B<backup> operation running or pending in the current interactive session.
22 This command can be issued in interactive mode only. If the issuer of the
23 B<backup interactive> command included the B<-localauth> flag, the
24 B<-cell> argument, or both, those settings apply to this command also.
26 To terminate operations that appear in the output, issue the B<backup
27 kill> command and identify the operation to cancel with the job ID number
28 from this command's output.
30 To check the status of a Tape Coordinator, rather than of a certain
31 operation, use the B<backup status> command.
39 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
46 The output always includes the expiration date and time of the tokens that
47 the B<backup> command interpreter is using during the current interactive
48 session, in the following format:
50 <date> <time>: TOKEN EXPIRATION
52 If the execution date and time specified for a scheduled dump operation is
53 later than <date time>, then its individual line (as described in the
54 following paragraphs) appears below this line to indicate that the current
55 tokens will not be available to it.
57 If the issuer of the backup command included the B<-localauth> flag when
58 entering interactive mode, the line instead reads as follows:
62 The entry for a scheduled dump operation has the following format:
64 Job <job_ID>: <timestamp>: dump <volume_set> <dump_level>
72 Is a job identification number assigned by the Backup System.
76 Indicates the date and time the dump operation is to begin, in the format
77 I<month>/I<date>/I<year> I<hours>:I<minutes> (in 24-hour format)
81 Indicates the volume set to dump.
85 Indicates the dump level at which to perform the dump operation.
89 The line for a pending or running operation of any other type has the
92 Job <job_ID>: <operation> <status>
100 Is a job identification number assigned by the Backup System.
104 Identifies the operation the Tape Coordinator is performing, which is
105 initiated by the indicated command:
109 =item Dump (I<dump name>)
111 Initiated by the backup dump command. The I<dump name> has the following
114 <volume_set_name>.<dump_level_name>
118 Initiated by the B<backup diskrestore>, B<backup volrestore>, or B<backup
119 volsetrestore> command.
121 =item Labeltape (I<tape_label>)
123 Initiated by the B<backup labeltape>n command. The I<tape_label> is the
124 name specified by the B<backup labeltape> command's B<-name> or B<-pname>
129 Initiated by the B<backup scantape> command.
133 Initiated by the B<backup savedb> command.
137 Initiated by the B<backup restoredb> command.
143 Indicates the job's current status in one of the following messages. If no
144 message appears, the job is either still pending or has finished.
148 =item I<number> Kbytes, volume I<volume_name>
150 For a running dump operation, indicates the number of kilobytes copied to
151 tape or a backup data file so far, and the volume currently being dumped.
153 =item I<number> Kbytes, restore.volume
155 For a running restore operation, indicates the number of kilobytes copied
156 into AFS from a tape or a backup data file so far.
158 =item [abort requested]
160 The B<backup kill> command was issued, but the termination signal has yet
161 to reach the Tape Coordinator.
165 The operation is canceled by the B<backup kill> command. Once the Backup
166 System removes an operation from the queue or stops it from running, it no
167 longer appears at all in the output from the command.
169 =item [butc contact lost]
171 The backup command interpreter cannot reach the Tape Coordinator. The
172 message can mean either that the Tape Coordinator handling the operation
173 was terminated or failed while the operation was running, or that the
174 connection to the Tape Coordinator timed out.
178 The Tape Coordinator has finished the operation.
182 The operation is waiting for the specified tape drive to become free.
184 =item [operator wait]
186 The Tape Coordinator is waiting for the backup operator to insert a tape
195 The following example shows that two restore operations and one dump
196 operation are running (presumably on different Tape Coordinators) and that
197 the B<backup> command interpreter's tokens expire on 22 April 1999 at
201 Job 1: Restore, 1306 Kbytes, restore.volume
202 Job 2: Dump (user.sunday1), 34 Kbytes, volume user.pat.backup
203 Job 3: Restore, 2498 Kbytes, restore.volume
204 04/22/1999 10:45: TOKEN EXPIRATION
206 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
208 None. However, queuing any operation requires privilege, and it is
209 possible to issue this command only within the interactive session in
210 which the jobs are queued.
