💅 STOREBA...VERSIONS(1)

ok so this is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, bestie — it's storeBackupVersions.pl's moment to shine.

✨ NAME ✨

storeBackupVersions.pl — literally the tool that goes and finds all the different versions of a file that were saved with storeBackup.pl. it's giving detective energy 🔍💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

storeBackupVersions.pl -f file [-b root]  [-v]
 [-l [-a | [-s] [-u] [-g] [-M] [-c] [-m]]]

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --file, -f — the file name you're hunting for (it's the name in the backup, so it probably has whatever suffix compression slapped on it) 🗂️
  • --backupRoot, -b — the root of your storeBackup tree; normally you don't even need this one
  • --verbose, -v — print verbose messages, i.e. let it yap ✨
  • --locateSame, -l — locate the same file saved under other names
  • --showAll, -A — same as [-s -u -g -M -c -m] (yes, all of them at once, iconic)
  • --size, -s — show the size (human readable, thank u) of the source file
  • --uid, -u — show the uid of the source file
  • --gid, -g — show the gid of the source file
  • --mode, -M — show the permissions of the source file
  • --ctime, -c — show the creation time of the source file
  • --mtime, -m — show the modify time of the source file 📅
  • --atime, -a — show the access time of the source file
⚠️ ok heads up because this lowkey matters: it does not always work correctly when a file is saved blocked and non-blocked in different backups. like, the vibes get confused 😭 in those cases, just use --locateSame. fr fr.
