dumpnet.cmddates - the file storing the information about the previous full and incremental backups.
The location of this file can be configured using the variable $cmd_dates_file in dumpnet.conf(8). The default is $DUMPNET_HOME/log/dumpnet.cmddates.
dumpnet.cmddates is exclusivly used by dumpnet.host.userdefined.cmd(8) to store the information about the previous full and incremental backups. This allows dumpet.host.userdefined.cmd to do incremental backups and to find the files needed to do a restore (in restore mode). dumpnet.cmddates contains a line for each previous full or incremental backup. There may be only one entry per backup command at each level. The dumpnet.cmddates file may be edited to change any of the fields, if necessary. One line consits of the following fields:
- Local Date & Time
-
The local date and time in the format of YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS followed by a rfc822 timezone specification: either a plus or minus sign followed by two digits for the number of hours and two digits for the minutes. For example, -0800 for eight hours west of Greenwich or +0230 for two hours and a half east of Greenwich. It's what you get if you run `date +``%F %T %z'''
- Remote Date & Time
-
The remote date and time on the target host in the format of YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS followed by a rfc822 timezone specification: either a plus or minus sign followed by two digits for the number of hours and two digits for the minutes. For example, -0800 for eight hours west of Greenwich or +0230 for two hours and a half east of Greenwich. It's what you get if you run `date +``%F %T %z''' on the target host.
- Session ID
-
The string ``SID'' followed by the session ID; i.e. ``SID10000''
- Level
-
The string ``lev'' followed by the level; i.e. ``lev2''
- Target Host

The host name or IP address of the target host.
