Displays a fileset's dump history from the Backup Database
Synopsis
bak ftinfo -fileset name [-help]
Options
-fileset name
Names the fileset whose dump history is to be displayed. Include a .backup extension if the backup version of the fileset (rather than the
read-write version) was dumped.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options specified with this option are ignored.
Description
The bak ftinfo command displays a dump history for the specified fileset, detailing the dates on which the fileset was cloned (the backup version was made)
and dumped and the tapes on which it resides. If the dump was made of the backup version, as is usual, then -fileset must include the .backup extension.
Privilege Required
The issuer must be listed in the admin.bak files on all Backup Database machines.
Output
The output lists information about the dump sets in which -fileset is included, with the most recent dump set listed first. The output is displayed in six
columns, as follows:
DumpID
The dump set's ID number. This is a unique identifier that the Backup System uses internally. It allows the issuer to check that the parent ID for an incremental dump
set matches the dump ID of the dump set created previously.
parentID
The dump ID of the dump set that served as the parent for this dump set. A value of 0 (zero) means this is a full dump set and so has no parent, in which case
lvl is also 0 (zero). It normally corresponds to the dump ID of the dump set created previously (the one on the next line of the output).
lvl
The location in the dump hierarchy of the dump level used in creating the dump set. A value of 0 (zero) indicates a full dump set. A value of 1 or
greater indicates an incremental dump set made at the indicated level in the hierarchy.
creation date
The date and time at which the Backup System started executing the dump operation that created the dump set.
clone date
The date and time at which the fileset was created. For a backup or read-only fileset, this represents the time at which it was cloned from its read-write source.
For a read-write fileset, it indicates when the Backup System accessed the fileset to include it in the present dump set.
tape name
The name of the tape that contains the dump set.
Examples
The following command displays dump information about the fileset named user.smith.backup:
$ bak ftinfo user.smith.backup
DumpID parentID lvl creation date clone date tape name
