perlvault [options]
perlvault --class {class list} --streams {# streams} --rn {robot #}
--rt {robot type} --destpool {pool} --hourago {hours} --mailto {address}
--altreadhost {media host} --dstunit {unit} --dev {device file for robot}
--debug --help
The current incarnation of perlvault duplicates the most recent full backup image (with a return code of 0 or 1) for all hosts in the specified class. It then ejects the media from the robotic library. The idea is to setup a cron job which duplicates the images during drive and robot idle time.
The following options may be specified:
streams
The number of concurrent duplications. Each duplication will
require a minimum of 2 devices. The default is 1.
rn
The robot number. The default is 0.
rt
The robot type. The default is tld.
dev
The device file for the robot. The default is /dev/sg/c2t2l1 (because
that's where my robot is).
class
The class you'd like to duplicate full backup images for.
You may specify multiple class (policy) names
in a comma separated list.
dstunit
The destination unit name. The default is nbmaster-hcart-robot-tld-0.
destpool
The destination pool. The default is offsite
hoursago
How may hours back you want to look for the best backup image to duplicate.
The default is 168. The newest image is always chosen, so keep this
as small a value as possible.
altreadhost
Useful in an SSO environment. Mount the tape for reading on this host
instead of the media host that created the image.
debug
Dump some debug messages to the screen.
