61 | (The |
62 | .Bx 4.3 | |
ddd2ef55 | 63 | option syntax is implemented for backward compatibility but |
1227625a SP |
64 | is not documented here.) |
65 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
66 | .Nm Dump | |
67 | examines files | |
ddd2ef55 | 68 | on an ext2 filesystem |
1227625a SP |
69 | and determines which files |
70 | need to be backed up. These files | |
71 | are copied to the given disk, tape or other | |
72 | storage medium for safe keeping (see the | |
73 | .Fl f | |
74 | option below for doing remote backups). | |
75 | A dump that is larger than the output medium is broken into | |
76 | multiple volumes. | |
77 | On most media the size is determined by writing until an | |
4f4eee3d | 78 | end-of-media indication is returned. |
b45f51d6 | 79 | .Pp |
1227625a | 80 | On media that cannot reliably return an end-of-media indication |
4f4eee3d SP |
81 | (such as some cartridge tape drives), each volume is of a fixed size; |
82 | the actual size is determined by specifying cartridge media, or via the | |
83 | tape size, density and/or block count options below. | |
1227625a SP |
84 | By default, the same output file name is used for each volume |
85 | after prompting the operator to change media. | |
86 | .Pp | |
a94ecd11 | 87 | .Ar files-to-dump |
79e31865 | 88 | is either a mountpoint of a filesystem |
a94ecd11 SP |
89 | or a list of files and directories to be backed up as a subset of a |
90 | filesystem. | |
79e31865 SP |
91 | In the former case, either the path to a mounted filesystem |
92 | or the device of an unmounted filesystem can be used. | |
93 | In the latter case, certain restrictions are placed on the backup: | |
94 | .Fl u | |
a94ecd11 SP |
95 | is not allowed, the only dump level that is supported is |
96 | .Fl 0 | |
97 | and all the files and directories must reside on the same filesystem. | |
79e31865 | 98 | .Pp |
1227625a | 99 | The following options are supported by |
b45f51d6 | 100 | .Nm Ns : |
1227625a SP |
101 | .Bl -tag -width Ds |
102 | .It Fl 0\-9 | |
103 | Dump levels. | |
104 | A level 0, full backup, | |
105 | guarantees the entire file system is copied | |
106 | (but see also the | |
107 | .Fl h | |
108 | option below). | |
109 | A level number above 0, | |
110 | incremental backup, | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
111 | tells |
112 | .Nm dump | |
113 | to | |
1227625a | 114 | copy all files new or modified since the |
ae58c8da | 115 | last dump of a lower level. |
ddd2ef55 | 116 | The default level is 9. |
1227625a | 117 | .It Fl B Ar records |
aca7d867 | 118 | The number of 1 kB blocks per volume. |
4f4eee3d | 119 | This option overrides the end-of-media detection, and calculation |
e7850aac SP |
120 | of tape size based on length and density. If compression is on this |
121 | limits the size of the compressed output per volume. | |
b45f51d6 SP |
122 | .It Fl a |
123 | .Dq auto-size . | |
4f4eee3d SP |
124 | Bypass all tape length calculations, and write |
125 | until an end-of-media indication is returned. This works best | |
126 | for most modern tape drives, and is the default. | |
127 | Use of this option is particularly recommended when appending to an | |
128 | existing tape, or using a tape drive with hardware compression | |
129 | (where you can never be sure about the compression ratio). | |
1227625a SP |
130 | .It Fl b Ar blocksize |
131 | The number of kilobytes per dump record. | |
ddd2ef55 | 132 | Since the IO system slices all requests into chunks of MAXBSIZE |
aca7d867 | 133 | (typically 64kB), it is not possible to use a larger blocksize |
ddd2ef55 SP |
134 | without having problems later with |
135 | .Xr restore 8 . | |
136 | Therefore | |
137 | .Nm dump | |
138 | will constrain writes to MAXBSIZE. | |
65bceb9b | 139 | The default blocksize is 10. |
1227625a | 140 | .It Fl c |
b45f51d6 | 141 | Change the defaults for use with a cartridge tape drive, with a density |
4f4eee3d SP |
142 | of 8000 bpi, and a length of 1700 feet. Specifying a cartridge drive |
143 | overrides the end-of-media detection. | |
20c345aa SP |
144 | .It Fl e Ar inode |
145 | Exclude | |
146 | .Ar inode | |
147 | from the dump (you can use | |
148 | .Ar stat | |
149 | to find the inode number for a file or directory). | |
b45f51d6 SP |
150 | .It Fl h Ar level |
151 | Honor the user | |
152 | .Dq nodump | |
153 | flag | |
154 | .Dp Dv UF_NODUMP | |
155 | only for dumps at or above the given | |
156 | .Ar level . | |
157 | The default honor level is 1, | |
158 | so that incremental backups omit such files | |
159 | but full backups retain them. | |
1227625a SP |
160 | .It Fl d Ar density |
161 | Set tape density to | |
162 | .Ar density . | |
4f4eee3d SP |
163 | The default is 1600BPI. Specifying a tape density overrides the |
164 | end-of-media detection. | |
1227625a SP |
165 | .It Fl f Ar file |
166 | Write the backup to | |
167 | .Ar file ; | |
168 | .Ar file | |
169 | may be a special device file | |
170 | like | |
ddd2ef55 | 171 | .Pa /dev/st0 |
1227625a SP |
172 | (a tape drive), |
173 | .Pa /dev/rsd1c | |
b45f51d6 | 174 | (a floppy disk drive), |
1227625a SP |
175 | an ordinary file, |
176 | or | |
177 | .Ql Fl | |
178 | (the standard output). | |
179 | Multiple file names may be given as a single argument separated by commas. | |
180 | Each file will be used for one dump volume in the order listed; | |
181 | if the dump requires more volumes than the number of names given, | |
182 | the last file name will used for all remaining volumes after prompting | |
183 | for media changes. | |
184 | If the name of the file is of the form | |
ddd2ef55 | 185 | .Dq host:file |
1227625a | 186 | or |
ddd2ef55 | 187 | .Dq user@host:file |
b45f51d6 | 188 | .Nm |
1227625a SP |
189 | writes to the named file on the remote host using |
190 | .Xr rmt 8 . | |
b45f51d6 SP |
191 | The default path name of the remote |
192 | .Xr rmt 8 | |
193 | program is | |
194 | .\" rmt path, is the path on the remote host | |
195 | .Pa /etc/rmt ; | |
196 | this can be overridden by the environment variable | |
197 | .Ev RMT . | |
0d7af9c5 | 198 | .It Fl F Ar script |
365a7c7c SP |
199 | Run script at the end of each tape. The device name and the |
200 | current volume number are passed on the command line. | |
201 | The script must return 0 if | |
ae81b200 SP |
202 | .Nm |
203 | should continue without asking the user to change the tape, 1 if | |
204 | .Nm | |
c534413c | 205 | should continue but ask the user to change the tape. |
ae81b200 SP |
206 | Any other exit code will cause |
207 | .Nm | |
208 | to abort. | |
209 | For security reasons, | |
210 | .Nm | |
211 | reverts back to the real user ID and the real group ID before | |
212 | running the script. | |
b45f51d6 SP |
213 | .It Fl k |
214 | Use Kerberos authentication to talk to remote tape servers. (Only | |
215 | available if this option was enabled when | |
216 | .Nm | |
217 | was compiled.) | |
218 | .It Fl L Ar label | |
219 | The user-supplied text string | |
220 | .Ar label | |
221 | is placed into the dump header, where tools like | |
222 | .Xr restore 8 | |
223 | and | |
224 | .Xr file 1 | |
225 | can access it. | |
226 | Note that this label is limited | |
227 | to be at most LBLSIZE (currently 16) characters, which must include | |
228 | the terminating | |
229 | .Ql \e0 . | |
dc7cb1e2 SP |
230 | .It Fl M |
231 | Enable the multi-volume feature. The name specified with | |
232 | .Fl f | |
233 | is treated as a prefix and | |
234 | .Nm | |
235 | writes in sequence to <prefix>001, <prefix>002 etc. This can be | |
236 | useful when dumping to files on an ext2 partition, in order to bypass | |
237 | the 2GB file size limitation. | |
1227625a SP |
238 | .It Fl n |
239 | Whenever | |
b45f51d6 | 240 | .Nm |
1227625a SP |
241 | requires operator attention, |
242 | notify all operators in the group | |
243 | .Dq operator | |
244 | by means similar to a | |
245 | .Xr wall 1 . | |
35b24fb7 SP |
246 | .It Fl Q Ar file |
247 | Enable the Quick File Access support. Tape positions for each | |
248 | inode are stored into the file | |
249 | .Ar file | |
250 | which is used by restore (if called with parameter Q and the filename) | |
251 | to directly position the tape at the file restore is currently working | |
252 | on. This saves hours when restoring single files from large backups, | |
253 | saves the tapes and the drive's head. | |
b8f7cbe6 SP |
254 | .Pp |
255 | It is recommended to set up the st driver to return logical tape | |
256 | positions rather than physical before calling dump/restore with | |
257 | parameter Q. Since not all tape devices support physical tape | |
258 | positions those tape devices return an error during dump/restore when | |
259 | the st driver is set to the default physical setting. | |
260 | Please see the st man page, option MTSETDRVBUFFER, or the mt man | |
261 | page, on how to set the driver to return logical tape positions. | |
262 | .Pp | |
263 | Before calling restore with parameter Q, always make sure the st | |
264 | driver is set to return the same type of tape position used during the | |
265 | call to dump. Otherwise restore may be confused. | |
1227625a | 266 | .It Fl s Ar feet |
4f4eee3d | 267 | Attempt to calculate the amount of tape needed at a particular density. |
1227625a | 268 | If this amount is exceeded, |
b45f51d6 | 269 | .Nm |
1227625a SP |
270 | prompts for a new tape. |
271 | It is recommended to be a bit conservative on this option. | |
4f4eee3d SP |
272 | The default tape length is 2300 feet. Specifying the tape size |
273 | overrides end-of-media detection. | |
1227625a | 274 | .ne 1i |
144a6db1 SP |
275 | .It Fl S |
276 | Size estimate. Determine the amount of space | |
277 | that is needed to perform the dump without | |
278 | actually doing it, and display the estimated | |
2e682895 | 279 | number of bytes it will take. This is useful |
144a6db1 SP |
280 | with incremental dumps to determine how many |
281 | volumes of media will be needed. | |
1227625a SP |
282 | .It Fl T Ar date |
283 | Use the specified date as the starting time for the dump | |
284 | instead of the time determined from looking in | |
8d4197bb | 285 | .Pa __DUMPDATES__ . |
ddd2ef55 SP |
286 | The format of |
287 | .Ar date | |
288 | is the same as that of | |
1227625a SP |
289 | .Xr ctime 3 . |
290 | This option is useful for automated dump scripts that wish to | |
291 | dump over a specific period of time. | |
292 | The | |
293 | .Fl T | |
294 | option is mutually exclusive from the | |
295 | .Fl u | |
296 | option. | |
297 | .It Fl u | |
298 | Update the file | |
8d4197bb | 299 | .Pa __DUMPDATES__ |
1227625a SP |
300 | after a successful dump. |
301 | The format of | |
8d4197bb | 302 | .Pa __DUMPDATES__ |
1227625a SP |
303 | is readable by people, consisting of one |
304 | free format record per line: | |
305 | filesystem name, | |
306 | increment level | |
307 | and | |
308 | .Xr ctime 3 | |
309 | format dump date. | |
310 | There may be only one entry per filesystem at each level. | |
311 | The file | |
8d4197bb | 312 | .Pa __DUMPDATES__ |
1227625a SP |
313 | may be edited to change any of the fields, |
314 | if necessary. | |
315 | .It Fl W | |
316 | .Nm Dump | |
317 | tells the operator what file systems need to be dumped. | |
318 | This information is gleaned from the files | |
8d4197bb | 319 | .Pa __DUMPDATES__ |
1227625a SP |
320 | and |
321 | .Pa /etc/fstab . | |
322 | The | |
323 | .Fl W | |
324 | option causes | |
b45f51d6 | 325 | .Nm |
51b01afe | 326 | to print out, for all file systems in |
8d4197bb | 327 | .Pa __DUMPDATES__ , |
51b01afe SP |
328 | and regognized file systems in |
329 | .Pa /etc/fstab . | |
1227625a | 330 | the most recent dump date and level, |
51b01afe | 331 | and highlights those that should be dumped. |
1227625a SP |
332 | If the |
333 | .Fl W | |
334 | option is set, all other options are ignored, and | |
b45f51d6 | 335 | .Nm |
1227625a SP |
336 | exits immediately. |
337 | .It Fl w | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
338 | Is like |
339 | .Fl W , | |
51b01afe SP |
340 | but prints only recognized filesystems in |
341 | .Pa /etc/fstab | |
342 | which need to be dumped. | |
ce7243e0 | 343 | .It Fl z Ar compression level |
52ed7d6e | 344 | Compress every block to be written on the tape using zlib library. This |
2b747532 SP |
345 | option will work only when dumping to a file or pipe or, when dumping |
346 | to a tape drive, if the tape drive is capable of writing variable | |
52ed7d6e SP |
347 | length blocks. You will need at least the 0.4b22 version of restore in |
348 | order to extract compressed tapes. Tapes written using compression will | |
ce7243e0 SP |
349 | not be compatible with the BSD tape format. The (optional) parameter |
350 | specifies the compression level zlib will use. The default compression | |
351 | level is 2. | |
1227625a SP |
352 | .El |
353 | .Pp | |
354 | .Nm Dump | |
355 | requires operator intervention on these conditions: | |
356 | end of tape, | |
357 | end of dump, | |
358 | tape write error, | |
359 | tape open error or | |
ddd2ef55 | 360 | disk read error (if there is more than a threshold of 32). |
1227625a SP |
361 | In addition to alerting all operators implied by the |
362 | .Fl n | |
363 | key, | |
b45f51d6 | 364 | .Nm |
1227625a SP |
365 | interacts with the operator on |
366 | .Em dump's | |
367 | control terminal at times when | |
b45f51d6 | 368 | .Nm |
1227625a SP |
369 | can no longer proceed, |
370 | or if something is grossly wrong. | |
371 | All questions | |
b45f51d6 | 372 | .Nm |
1227625a SP |
373 | poses |
374 | .Em must | |
375 | be answered by typing | |
376 | .Dq yes | |
377 | or | |
378 | .Dq no , | |
379 | appropriately. | |
380 | .Pp | |
381 | Since making a dump involves a lot of time and effort for full dumps, | |
b45f51d6 | 382 | .Nm |
1227625a SP |
383 | checkpoints itself at the start of each tape volume. |
384 | If writing that volume fails for some reason, | |
b45f51d6 | 385 | .Nm |
1227625a SP |
386 | will, |
387 | with operator permission, | |
388 | restart itself from the checkpoint | |
389 | after the old tape has been rewound and removed, | |
390 | and a new tape has been mounted. | |
391 | .Pp | |
392 | .Nm Dump | |
393 | tells the operator what is going on at periodic intervals, | |
394 | including usually low estimates of the number of blocks to write, | |
395 | the number of tapes it will take, the time to completion, and | |
396 | the time to the tape change. | |
397 | The output is verbose, | |
398 | so that others know that the terminal | |
399 | controlling | |
b45f51d6 | 400 | .Nm |
1227625a SP |
401 | is busy, |
402 | and will be for some time. | |
403 | .Pp | |
404 | In the event of a catastrophic disk event, the time required | |
405 | to restore all the necessary backup tapes or files to disk | |
406 | can be kept to a minimum by staggering the incremental dumps. | |
407 | An efficient method of staggering incremental dumps | |
408 | to minimize the number of tapes follows: | |
409 | .Bl -bullet -offset indent | |
410 | .It | |
411 | Always start with a level 0 backup, for example: | |
412 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | |
8d4197bb | 413 | /sbin/dump -0u -f /dev/st0 /usr/src |
1227625a SP |
414 | .Ed |
415 | .Pp | |
416 | This should be done at set intervals, say once a month or once every two months, | |
417 | and on a set of fresh tapes that is saved forever. | |
418 | .It | |
419 | After a level 0, dumps of active file | |
420 | systems are taken on a daily basis, | |
421 | using a modified Tower of Hanoi algorithm, | |

427 | For the daily dumps, it should be possible to use a fixed number of tapes | |
428 | for each day, used on a weekly basis. | |
429 | Each week, a level 1 dump is taken, and | |
430 | the daily Hanoi sequence repeats beginning with 3. | |
431 | For weekly dumps, another fixed set of tapes per dumped file system is | |
432 | used, also on a cyclical basis. | |
433 | .El | |
434 | .Pp | |
435 | After several months or so, the daily and weekly tapes should get | |
436 | rotated out of the dump cycle and fresh tapes brought in. | |

483 | .Nm Dump |
484 | exits with zero status on success. | |
1227625a SP |
485 | Startup errors are indicated with an exit code of 1; |
486 | abnormal termination is indicated with an exit code of 3. | |
487 | .Sh BUGS | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
488 | It might be considered a bug that this version of dump can only handle ext2 |
489 | filesystems. Specifically, it does not work with FAT filesystems. | |
490 | .Pp | |
491 | Fewer than 32 read errors on the filesystem are ignored. If noticing | |
492 | read errors is important, the output from dump can be parsed to look for lines | |
493 | that contain the text 'read error'. | |
1227625a SP |
494 | .Pp |
495 | Each reel requires a new process, so parent processes for | |
496 | reels already written just hang around until the entire tape | |
497 | is written. | |
498 | .Pp | |
e7850aac SP |
499 | The estimated number of tapes is not correct if compression is on. |
500 | .Pp | |
1227625a | 501 | It would be nice if |
b45f51d6 | 502 | .Nm |
1227625a SP |
503 | knew about the dump sequence, |
504 | kept track of the tapes scribbled on, | |
505 | told the operator which tape to mount when, | |
506 | and provided more assistance | |
507 | for the operator running | |
508 | .Xr restore . | |

509 | .Pp |
510 | .Nm Dump | |
511 | cannot do remote backups without being run as root, due to its | |
0c62667d | 512 | security history. |
b45f51d6 | 513 | Presently, it works if you set it setuid (like it used to be), but this |
0c62667d SP |
514 | might constitute a security risk. Note that you can set RSH to use |
515 | a remote shell program instead. | |
