storeBackupMount(1)


NAME

   storeBackupMount.pl - runs storeBackup backing up to an nfs mount

SYNOPSIS

           storeBackupMount.pl -c configFile [-s server] [-l logFile] [-d]
           [-p pathToStoreBackup] [-k killTime] [-m] mountPoints...

DESCRIPTION

   This script does the following:

   - checks an nfs server with ping
   - mounts that server via a list of mount points
   - starts storeBackup (with a config file)
   - umounts that server

OPTIONS

   --server, -s
               name or ip address of the nfs server
               default is localhost

   --configFile, -c
               configuration file for storeBackup.
               if option 'logFile' is set in the configration file,
               that log file is read online, if it is different from -l

   --logFile, -l
               logFile for this process.
               default is STDOUT.
               you can log into the same logfile as storeBackup

   --debug, -d
               generate some debug messages

   --pathStbu, -p
               path to storeBackup.pl

   --killTime -k
               time until storeBackup.pl will be killed.
               default is 365 days.
               the time range has to be specified in format 'dhms', e.g.
               10d4h means 10 days and 4 hours

   --keepExistingMounts, -m
               if a mount already exists, do not umount after
               running storeBackup

   mountPoints
               List of mount points needed to perform the backup.
               This must be a list of paths which have to be
               defined in /etc/fstab.
               -
               if you add 'ro,' or 'rw,' to the beginning of a mount
               point, you can overwrite that option set in /etc/fstab

               example:
               ro,/filesSystemToRead
                  will mount /fileSystemToRead read only, even if the
                  corresponding entry in /etc/fstab mounts it read write

               only root is allowed to use this feature!

EXIT STATUS

   0 -> everything is ok
   1 -> error from storeBackup
   2 -> error from storeBackupMount
   3 -> error from both programs
