NAME

6       vgcfgbackup - backup volume group descriptor area
7

SYNOPSIS

9       vgcfgbackup  [-d|--debug]  [-f|--file  filename] [-h|--help] [--ignore‐
10       lockingfailure] [-P|--partial] [-v|--verbose] [VolumeGroupName...]
11

DESCRIPTION

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