DESCRIPTION

dumpnet.host does a backup of a single host. For this purpose it will call the modules listed in the host configuration file (in that order). Please see dumpnet.HOST.conf(8). The available modules are:

        dumpnet.host.fstab
        dumpnet.host.userdefined
        dumpnet.host.diff
        dumpnet.host.info
        dumpnet.host.aide
        dumpnet.host.report
        dumpnet.host.reportmail

Please see the corresponding man pages for details.

OPTIONS

BACKUP MODE

-N

Do not update dumpnet.cmddates. This is useful for an irregular backup. Keep in mind that a backup created with the -N switch will not be listed in restore mode. See dumpnet.cmddates(8).

-l LEVEL

Set level to LEVEL. This can be a numerical level (0-9) or a level mode. See the sections LEVELS and LEVEL MODES in dumpnet(8) for details.

-s SESSIONID

Set sessionId to SESSIONID. If you don't know if you need this option, you don't! Read the SESSIONID section in dumpnet(8) before using it!

-d DUMPNET_CONFIG

Use DUMPNET_CONFIG instead of the default $DUMPNET_HOME/conf/dumpnet.conf.

HOST_CONFIG

The host configuration file. For the target host 192.168.1.10 it could be conf/192.168.1.10/dumpnet.HOST.conf.

RESTORE MODE

-R

Restore mode. This will not actually do the restore but will list the files you will need to perform it manually.

-v

Be verbose.

-f FILE

Find the files that are needed to restore FILE. FILE will be used as a pattern to grep in the TOC-files. Please note that entries in the tar TOC-files do not contain a leading slash.

-d DUMPNET_CONFIG

Use DUMPNET_CONFIG instead of the default $DUMPNET_HOME/conf/dumpnet.conf.

HOST_CONFIG

The host configuration file. For the target host 192.168.1.10 it could be conf/192.168.1.10/dumpnet.HOST.conf.

EXAMPLES

Just do a backup of 192.168.1.10 configured in /usr/local/dumpnet/conf/192.168.1.10/dumpnet.HOST.conf with all default settings - if you don't know what you want, you want something like this:

        dumpnet.host /usr/local/dumpnet/conf/192.168.1.10/dumpnet.HOST.conf

Force the use of level 0 and do not update dumpnet.cmddates:

        dumpnet.host -Nl 0 /usr/local/dumpnet/conf/example.com/dumpnet.HOST.conf

List the files I need to do a restore of 192.168.1.10:

        dumpnet.host -R /usr/local/dumpnet/conf/192.168.1.10/dumpnet.HOST.conf

Find the archive/dump, I need to restore /home/jdoe/somefile.txt. Please note that the leading slash must be removed. This is because the tar TOC-files created by dumpnet.host.fstab.tar do not contain a leading slash (only the dump TOC-files do).

        dumpnet.host -Rf home/jdoe/somefile.txt /usr/local/dumpnet/conf/192.168.1.10/dumpnet.HOST.conf

EXIT STATUS

dumpnet.host will return a zero exit status if all called modules exit with 0. In any other case it will return 1.

FILES

 $DUMPNET_HOME/conf/dumpnet.HOST.conf
