## NAME

storeBackupVersions.pl - locates different versions of a file saved with storeBackup.pl.

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

## OPTIONS

- **--file**, **-f**

  ```
      file name (name in the backup, probably with suffix
      from compression)
  ```

- **--backupRoot** **-b**

  ```
      root of storeBackup tree, normally not needed
  ```

- **--verbose**, **-v**

  ```
      print verbose messages
  ```

- **--locateSame**, **-l**

  ```
      locate same file with other names
  ```

- **--showAll**, **-A**

  ```
      same as: [-s -u -g -M -c -m]
  ```

- **--size**, **-s**

  ```
      show size (human readable) of source file
  ```

- **--uid**, **-u**

  ```
      show uid of source file
  ```

- **--gid**, **-g**

  ```
      show gid of source file
  ```

- **--mode**, **-M**

  ```
      show permissions of source file
  ```

- **--ctime**, **-c**

  ```
      show creation time of source file
  ```

- **--mtime**, **-m**

  ```
      show modify time of source file
  ```

- **--atime**, **-a**

It does not always work correctly when a file is saved blocked \*and\* non-blocked in different backups. In such cases, use option **--locateSame**.
