Backup schedule
From UGCS
Contents |
[edit] General Notes
Each tape should have a label on the back with its name (usually UGCS_#). In the corner, it should also have the date it was purchased written in.
On the tape sleeve (the plastic case), you should put a piece of masking tape and identify what is on the tape. Please also write the tape number so the tapes and their cases stay matched. If the tape contains incremental backups, note which parent dumps it was taken from. I know the backup databases store this, but it's helpful to have written on the tape (otherwise you'll get very confused if you get out of the routine)
/afs/.ugcs/ugcs-admin/dumptree will show you all of the AFS backups in a nice hierarchal structure.
To see what tape a dump is on, find its dumpid (with dumptree) and then run
backup dumpinfo -id <id> | head
Don't forget the |head otherwise it will list all the volumes dump (usually >3000) and you won't see anything.
