BXadmin:AFS Backups

afs-backup.pl and associated scripts are here: http://github.com/phalenor/afs-backup

Installed into /afs/bx.psu.edu/service/afs-backup

Should probably make that /afs/bx.psu/edu/service/afs/backup ?

Testing directory is under testing/, with testing/etc/ -> etc/ and testing/var/ -> var/

Directory layout

var/
- acl/
  - <volume name> - contains acls for that volume
- log/ - contains dsmc logs right now
- mounts/
  - mounts-by-path
  - mounts-by-volume
- tmp/
- vldb/
  - vldb.<date> - these should be routinely gzip'd
etc/
- common/ - config files common to all backup hosts
- hosts/
  - <short hostname>/ - config files for <short hostname>

- dsm.sys.head : The top of the dsm.sys file to be generated
- exclude.list : TSM exclude file

- tsm-policy-by-path : List of path regexes and the TSM management class to bind those paths to, separated by whitespace
- tsm-policy-by-volume : List of volume regexes and the TSM management class to bind the shortest mountpoint for those volumes (by number of characters) to, separated by whitespace
- tsm-policy-default : Default management class to be used

daily-findmounts.sh - calls afs-backup.pl in find-mounts mode. logic for determining which paths to traverse is in the script itself
