amassbackup
Perform a full backup (-f) with
the verbose (
-v) option of the
AMASS database
(
/usr/filesydb) and
transaction logs
(
/home/filesysdb/journal).
For instructions, see “Manual
Backup” on page 2-7.
8
volstat
Verify the status of the Backup
Volume is INACTIVE in the
AMASS File System Database.
An INACTIVE status means
that AMASS cannot read or
write to the volume. This
prevents AMASS from writing
to this volume thus corrupting
the backup data.
Before using the
amassrestore
command to restore these files,
change the status of the
Backup Volume to ACTIVE with
the volstat -a command.
