🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So what does she actually do? This utility verifies consistency of the backup image in the specified source-directory. That's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly, no cap. ✨

For the full tea on procedures for how to configure and use ZRM for MySQL, pls go read the ZRM for MySQL documentation at http://mysql-backup.zmanda.com/. she's not gatekeeping, the docs are right there. 📚

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --source-directory dir_name — point her at the directory containing the backup. that's the one she's gonna verify, so get it right bestie.
  • --backup-set name — specify the backup-set. the default value is BackupSet1. and if such a value is already present, it will be used. so like, she's not gonna fight you on it. 🫶
  • --options-file conf_file — set the file, along with the full pathname, that contains mysql-zrm-backup configuration options. this file has the same format as mysql-zrm.conf(5). same format, same rules, iykyk.
  • --tmpdir temp_dir — full path of the directory to be used for storing temporary files and directories on the backup host. if you don't specify it, it defaults to the system specified temporary directory on the backup host, e.g. /tmp. so basically /tmp unless you say otherwise. 🙈
  • --quiet|--no-quiet — choose --quiet to suppress display of log messages on stdout. choose --no-quiet to display the log messages on stdout. default is --no-quiet. pick your fighter. 😌
  • --verbose — provide verbose output in the log. default is that verbose is turned off and a terse output is generated. terse queen vs. yapping queen, your call. 💬
  • --help — displays the help message and exits. this command line only parameter cannot be specified in the configuration file. read that again. cannot. no config-file shenanigans for this one. 🚫

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • /var/lib/mysql-zrm — directory under which all backup data is stored. the mothership. 🛸
  • /etc/mysql-zrm/backup set name/mysql-zrm.conf — configuration file read by mysql-zrm utility. yes, that's literally how the path is written, "backup set name" is a placeholder, don't @ me. 🌈

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

  • On success, zero is returned. 🎉 slay.
  • On error, non-zero value is returned. 😭 not slay.
