specified output option can be on the local system or server (if -h option
provided). The device name can be a tape drive or virtual device name. If you
specify a directory, you must also specify an ID using the -I flag.
-g “filename”
Indicates the name of an LVM Information File previously created and
customized for this backup. Refer to the mkvginfo and editlvminfo
commands.
-h “hostname”
Name of the remote backup server host to receive the backup data (such as the
data destination host). This is the host that provides the backup device
specified by the -f flag.
-i Indicates to dynamically create a backup file ID when writing backups to disk
image file. This flag supersedes the -I“ID” flag.
-I “ID”
This option is used only if a directory is specified as the output device. The ID
is included in the filename created to make it unique from other disk image
file backups. If a backup in the same directory with this ID already exists,
specify the -O flag to overwrite the previous backup.
-l “level”
Specifies the backup level (default is 0, or all files). Valid values are 0-9. Only
files created or changed since the last (level - 1) backup was performed.
-n
Indicates that the tape should not be rewound at the beginning of the backup.
This enables the backup to be appended to the previous backup performed.
The tape is not automatically rewound at the end of the backup. The -n option
is always ignored when backing up to a non-tape device.
-O
Overwrites the previous file, if a filename was specified as the output device,
and the filename already exists.
-p
Indicates that the data should be packed before being written to the media.
This typically reduces size of backup between 25% and 40%. For increased
performance, do not use this option when backing up to a device that provides
hardware data compression.
-r user=[u|a]
Specifies user read permission when backing up to a disk image file. “u”
indicates only the specified user can read the file. “a” indicates that any user
can read the file.
-r host=[h|a]
Specifies host read permission when backing up to a disk image file. “h”
indicates only the specified host can read the file. “a” indicates that any host
can read the file.
-U “host”
Name of the host to be backed up (such as the backup system).
-x Specifies that the progress indicator should be shown on the screen, displaying
the approximate size and time to read the entire contents of the media and the
amount completed. This flag cannot be used with the -v flag.
-M
Retains physical partition mapping, by default, when the logical volume is
