.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
These programs reside in
|
|
.B /sys/lib/backup
|
|
and provide a means to backup
|
|
.IR venti (8)
|
|
storage to Blu-ray (or other large optical) discs,
|
|
while keeping track of which arenas have been written to which discs.
|
|
Multiple backup sets are supported,
|
|
as is (re)loading a
|
|
.I venti
|
|
store from a backup thus made.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The first time that
|
|
.I backup
|
|
is run,
|
|
it will dump all sealed
|
|
.I venti
|
|
arenas.
|
|
Thereafter,
|
|
it will append only those sealed arenas not already written to a disc
|
|
within the given backup set.
|
|
The
|
|
.B -s
|
|
option uses a backup
|
|
.I set
|
|
other than the default.
|
|
The
|
|
.B -d
|
|
option uses a disc burner
|
|
other than the default
|
|
.LR /dev/sdD0 .
|
|
The
|
|
.B -n
|
|
option goes through the motions but does not burn any tracks
|
|
on the Blu-ray disc.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Tobackup
|
|
prints the names of all the sealed arenas not yet backed up to a disc
|
|
in the current
|
|
.IR set .
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Dumparenas
|
|
copies the named
|
|
.IR arena s,
|
|
one per track,
|
|
to the device
|
|
.IR dev ,
|
|
which is first mounted via
|
|
.IR cdfs (4).
|
|
.I Venti/rdarena
|
|
is used to extract each arena.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Tobackup
|
|
and
|
|
.I dumparenas
|
|
are invoked internally by
|
|
.IR backup .
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Restore
|
|
copies each data track (assumed to be a saved arena) on
|
|
.I dev
|
|
(by default,
|
|
.LR /dev/sdC0 )
|
|
into its appropriate place in the
|
|
.I venti
|
|
arenas partition
|
|
(locally,
|
|
.BR /dev/sde0/arenas ),
|
|
thus adding the arena to the current
|
|
.I venti
|
|
store.
|
|
The arena size of the arena partition must match the size of the arenas
|
|
on optical disc (except for ~60K of trailing debris on the optical disc arenas).
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Arena-#
|
|
must be the number (starting from zero)
|
|
of the first arena slot in the arenas partition that
|
|
you wish to restore into from the current optical disc
|
|
.RI ( not
|
|
necessarily that of the first arena on the disc).
|
|
.I Restore
|
|
will prompt for confirmation that the first arena is the correct one,
|
|
after printing a summary of its arena header.
|
|
Typing
|
|
.L y
|
|
will proceed normally,
|
|
.L n
|
|
will abort all processing,
|
|
and
|
|
.L skip
|
|
will cause
|
|
.I restore
|
|
to proceed to the next track and ask for confirmation of it.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The arenas partition must be formatted
|
|
(see
|
|
.I fmtarenas
|
|
in
|
|
.IR venti-fmt (8))
|
|
before restoring into it.
|
|
When all the arenas have been restored,
|
|
it will be necessary to build a new
|
|
.I venti
|
|
index,
|
|
the usual steps being to run
|
|
.IR checkarenas ,
|
|
.IR fmtisect ,
|
|
.IR fmtbloom ,
|
|
.IR fmtindex ,
|
|
and
|
|
.IR "buildindex -b" ,
|
|
all from
|
|
.IR venti-fmt (8).

.SH BUGS
|
|
Assumes a single arenas partition named
|
|
.LR arena0 .
|
|
Assumes that the file server's arenas are accessible on it as
|
|
.LR /dev/fs/arena0 .
