PRINT_ERRORS(8)

NAME
print_errors - utility to extract error messages from afbackup

SYNOPSIS
print_errors [ -c <configuration-file> ] [ -<past-backup-no> ] [ -I <indexfile-part> ] [ -V <var-directory> ] [ -N <num-indexes-to-store> ] [ -z <compress-cmd> <uncompress-cmd> ]

DESCRIPTION
If no option of the type -<past-backup-no> is supplied (e.g. -2 ), the most recently made backup is accessed. If an option like this is given, the backup system tries to extract the errors from the backup before ( -1 ) or even an earlier one. This requires, that enough file- and directory-name-logging is provided. This can be done with the client-side configuration parameter NumIndexesToStore. A different configuration file can be supplied with the -c option.

-c  Use the given file for configuration information

-I <idx-prefix>
    The first part of the filename, the names of the stored files and directories can be found. The current total backup number is appended (that increments each start of a full backup). If these files undergo compression, .z is appended

-N <num-idxes>
    The number of filename list files, that is stored over time. A new list is begun at each start of a full backup (except -a is supplied)

-V <var-dir>
    The directory, where varying files are put

-z <zipcmd> <unzipcmd>
    The commands to use for compress and uncompress. If a command comprises of several words, it must be put in quotes

FILES

@clientvardir@/@clientconf@
    Client configuration file

@clientlogdir@

@clientvardir@
