NAME

  temip_mir_backup − TeMIP Framework online MIR backup tool

SYNOPSIS

  temip_mir_backup [-v]  MIRname_1 ... MIRname_n   target_dir
 

DESCRIPTION

  The temip_mir_backup command is used to atomically on-line backup a set of TeMIP framework Management Information Repository (MIR) files : − Atomically, the tool warranty that no files is modified during the save-copy.  − On-line, the tool doesn’t require to stop the TeMIP framework platform. 

During the call, the tool shared lock the setof MIR files passed in arguments, and copy these files in the provided destination directory. 

Once copied, the related MIR logging-transaction log file of each MIR files is cleaned-up (size reset to zero), and two timestamped files per MIR file, are created :
− One in the MIR logging-transaction log directory (/var/mcc/mir_log by default), and
− the second one in the destination directory.

These timestamped files will be used by the temip_mir_recover utility in case of recover. 
 

FLAGS

The following options are interpreted by temip_mir_backup :

-h

MIRname_1..MIRname_n
set of MIR Cisam files to save (fullpathname without the extension file).

target_dir

EXAMPLES

temip_mir_backup /var/mcc/dDNS_d /var/mcc/iDNS_i /backupdir

copy /var/mcc/dDNS_d.[dat.idx] and /var/mcc/iDNS_i.[dat.idx] MIR files in the /backupdir directory. 

In the backup directory (/backupdir), the following files are created : -rw-rw-rw-   7168  Jun 26 17:12 iDNS_i.dat -rw-rw-rw-   13312  Jun 26 17:12 iDNS_i.idx -rw-rw-rw-   10240  Jun 27 15:01 dDNS_d.idx -rw-rw-rw-   5120  Jun 27 15:01 dDNS_d.dat -rw-rw-rw-   33  Jun 27 17:45 iDNS_i.log.backuptime -rw-rw-rw-   33  Jun 27 17:45 dDNS_d.log.backuptime

While in the default MIR transaction-loggin directory (/var/mcc/mir_log) , the log files are cleaned up, and two new files are created : -rw-rw-rw-   0  Jun 27 17:45 iDNS_i.log -rw-rw-rw-   0  Jun 27 17:45 dDNS_d.log -rw-rw-rw-   33  Jun 27 17:45 iDNS_i.log.backuptime -rw-rw-rw-   33  Jun 27 17:45 dDNS_d.log.backuptime
 

NOTES

When the Normal logging mode has been selected during the temip_setup, the temip_mir_backup, as well as the temip_backup tool, are to be used in order to purge all the Management Information Repository logging files, located in the /var/mcc/mir_log.
