This page describes the procedure for accessing and using our off-site backups.
1. Mounting the backup volume
1.1. Getting access
ssh FOO_admin@deleuze.hcoop.net aklog -c megacz.com
1.2. Navigating the available backups
cd /afs/megacz.com/hcoop-backup/ cd $DESIRED_BACKUP_DATE
1.3. Creating a local copy
cat $VOLNAME.dump.bz2.aescrypt | \ ccrypt -cdk /etc/backup-encryption-key | \ bunzip2 | \ vos restore deleuze /vicepa $VOLNAME.restored
1.4. Mounting the local copy onto the filesystem
fs mkm /afs/hcoop.net/.../tmp-mount $VOLNAME.restored
2. Restoring a particular file
# examine /afs/hcoop.net/.../tmp-mount
3. Unmounting the backup volume
fs rm /afs/hcoop.net/.../tmp-mount
4. Restoring an entire volume from backups
Do this if you want to restore an entire volume. This deletes the old volume and replaces it with the backup.
vos remove $VOLNAME vos rename $VOLNAME.restored $VOLNAME
5. Removing the local copy of the back-up volume
If you only wanted to restore a few files from the volume, you should remove the local copy of the backup volume when done.
vos remove $VOLNAME.restored
