# storeBackupMount(1)

runs storeBackup backing up to an nfs mount

## NAME

storeBackupMount.pl - runs storeBackup backing up to an nfs mount

## SYNOPSIS

```
        storeBackupMount.pl -c configFile [-s server] [-l logFile] [-d]
        [-p pathToStoreBackup] [-k killTime] [-m] mountPoints...
```

## DESCRIPTION

This script does the following:

- \- checks an nfs server with ping

  - \- mounts that server via a list of mount points

  - \- starts storeBackup (with a config file)

  - \- umounts that server

  ## OPTIONS

- **--server**, **-s**

  ```
      name or ip address of the nfs server
      default is localhost
  ```

- **--configFile**, **-c**

  ```
      configuration file for storeBackup.
      if option 'logFile' is set in the configration file,
      that log file is read online, if it is different from -l
  ```

- **--logFile**, **-l**

  ```
      logFile for this process.
      default is STDOUT.
      you can log into the same logfile as storeBackup
  ```

- **--debug**, **-d**

  ```
      generate some debug messages
  ```

- **--pathStbu**, **-p**

  ```
      path to storeBackup.pl
  ```

- **--killTime** **-k**

  ```
      time until storeBackup.pl will be killed.
      default is 365 days.
      the time range has to be specified in format 'dhms', e.g.
      10d4h means 10 days and 4 hours
  ```

- **--keepExistingMounts**, **-m**

  ```
      if a mount already exists, do not umount after
      running storeBackup
  ```

- *mountPoints*

  ```
      List of mount points needed to perform the backup.
      This must be a list of paths which have to be
      defined in /etc/fstab.
      -
      if you add 'ro,' or 'rw,' to the beginning of a mount
      point, you can overwrite that option set in /etc/fstab
      example:
      ro,/filesSystemToRead
         will mount /fileSystemToRead read only, even if the
         corresponding entry in /etc/fstab mounts it read write
      only root is allowed to use this feature!
  ```

## EXIT STATUS
