11 [B<-localauth>] S<<< [B<-cell> <I<cell name>>] >>> [B<-help>]

21 The B<backup status> command displays which operation, if any, the
22 indicated Tape Coordinator is currently executing.
28 =item B<-portoffset> <I<TC port offset>>
30 Specifies the port offset number of the Tape Coordinator for which to
35 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
36 F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<backup> command interpreter presents
37 it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual
38 authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument. For
39 more details, see L<backup(8)>.
41 =item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
43 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
44 with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<backup(8)>.
48 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
55 The following message indicates that the Tape Coordinator is not currently
56 performing an operation:
58 Tape coordinator is idle
60 Otherwise, the output includes a message of the following format for each
61 running or pending operation:
63 Task <task_ID>: <operation>: <status>
71 Is a task identification number assigned by the Tape Coordinator. It
72 begins with the Tape Coordinator's port offset number.
76 Identifies the operation the Tape Coordinator is performing, which is
77 initiated by the indicated command:
83 The B<backup dump> command.
87 The B<backup diskrestore>, B<backup volrestore>, or B<backup
88 volsetrestore> commands.
92 The B<backup labeltape> command.
96 The B<backup scantape> command.
100 The B<backup savedb> command.
104 The B<backup restoredb> command.
110 Indicates the job's current status in one of the following messages.
114 =item I<number> Kbytes transferred, volume I<volume_name>
116 For a running dump operation, indicates the number of kilobytes copied to
117 tape or a backup data file so far, and the volume currently being dumped.
119 =item I<number> Kbytes, restore.volume
121 For a running restore operation, indicates the number of kilobytes copied
122 into AFS from a tape or a backup data file so far.
124 =item [abort requested]
126 The B<backup kill> command was issued, but the termination signal has yet
127 to reach the Tape Coordinator.
131 The operation is canceled by the B<backup kill> command. Once the Backup
132 System removes an operation from the queue or stops it from running, it no
133 longer appears at all in the output from the command.
135 =item [butc contact lost]
137 The B<backup> command interpreter cannot reach the Tape Coordinator. The
138 message can mean either that the Tape Coordinator handling the operation
139 was terminated or failed while the operation was running, or that the
140 connection to the Tape Coordinator timed out.
144 The Tape Coordinator has finished the operation.
148 The operation is waiting for the specified tape drive to become free.
150 =item [operator wait]
152 The Tape Coordinator is waiting for the backup operator to insert a tape
159 If the Tape Coordinator is communicating with an XBSA server (a
160 third-party backup utility that implements the Open Group's Backup Service
161 API [XBSA]), the following message appears last in the output:
163 <XBSA_program> Tape coordinator
165 where <XBSA_program> is the name of the XBSA-compliant program.
169 The following example shows that the Tape Coordinator with port offset 4
170 has so far dumped about 1.5 MB of data for the current dump operation, and
171 is currently dumping the volume named C<user.pat.backup>:
173 % backup status -portoffset 4
174 Task 4001: Dump: 1520 Kbytes transferred, volume user.pat.backup
176 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
178 The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on every
179 machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged onto a
180 server machine as the local superuser C<root> if the B<-localauth> flag is
