.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
vgcfgbackup allows you to backup the metadata of your volume groups.
|
|
If you don't name any volume groups on the command line, all of them
|
|
will be backed up.
|
|
.sp
|
|
In a default installation, each volume group gets backed up into a separate
|
|
file bearing the name of the volume group in the directory #DEFAULT_BACKUP_DIR#.
|
|
You can write the backup to an alternative file using \fB-f\fP. In this case
|
|
if you are backing up more than one volume group the filename is
|
|
treated as a template, and %s gets replaced by the volume group name.
|
|
.sp
|
|
NB. This DOESN'T backup user/system data in logical
|
|
volume(s)! Backup #DEFAULT_SYS_DIR# regularly too.
