NAME

6       vgcfgbackup — backup volume group descriptor area
7

SYNOPSIS

9       vgcfgbackup   [--commandprofile  ProfileName]  [-d|--debug]  [-f|--file
10       <filename>]   [-h|--help]    [--ignorelockingfailure]    [-P|--partial]
11       [-v|--verbose] [VolumeGroupName...]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       vgcfgbackup  allows  you  to backup the metadata of your volume groups.
15       If you don't name any volume groups on the command line,  all  of  them
16       will be backed up.
17
18       In a default installation, each volume group gets backed up into a sep‐
19       arate file bearing the name  of  the  volume  group  in  the  directory
20       /etc/lvm/backup.  You can write the backup to an alternative file using
21       -f.  In this case if you are backing up more than one volume group  the
22       filename  is  treated as a template, and %s gets replaced by the volume
23       group name.
24
25       NB. This DOESN'T backup user/system data in logical volume(s)!   Backup
26       /etc/lvm regularly too.
