✨ BLS(8) — Bacula's 'Tape LS' ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for bls, from the Network backup, recovery and verification corner of the Bacula universe 🎀 it's literally the tape version of ls, and it's about to be your new obsession.

🌸 NAME 🌸

bls — Bacula's 'Tape LS' 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bls [options] <device-name>

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This manual page documents briefly the bls command. That's the whole description, bestie — it's giving mysterious main character energy, and honestly? We respect it. 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

A summary of options is included below. There are a lot of them, so buckle up 🎢

  • -? — show the version and usage of the program. the classic cry for help button 🙈
  • -b bootstrap — specify a bootstrap file.
  • -c config — specify configuration file.
  • -d nn — set debug level to nn.
  • -dt — print timestamp in debug output.
  • -e <file> — specify exclude list file.
  • -i <file> — specify include list file.
  • -j — list jobs.
  • -k — list blocks.
  • (no -j or -k option) — list saved files. yes, the default vibe is just "show me the files", no flag needed, she's lowkey self-sufficient like that 💁♀️
  • -L — dump label.
  • -p — proceed in spite of errors. bold. fearless. slightly unhinged. 👑
  • -V volumes — specify volume names (separated by '|').
  • -v — set verbose mode.
