Assigning an ID to a backup

Use the --backupID argument to assign an ID to a backup.

Steps

  • To back up the userRoot directory, run the following command.

    $ bin/backup --backupDirectory  </path/to/backups/>userRoot \
      --backendID userRoot --backupID weekly

    The --backupID argument identifies the backup being created as "weekly".

    Result:

    The backup file appears under backups/userRoot directory as userRoot-backup-weekly.
