BBSTOREACCOUNTS(8) Box Backup BBSTOREACCOUNTS(8)NAMEbbstoreaccounts - Box Backup store accounts manager
SYNOPSISbbstoreaccounts [-c config-file] command account-id
[command-specific arguments]
DESCRIPTIONbbstoreaccounts is the tool for managing accounts on the store server.
It can be used to view information related to accounts, as well as
create, change and delete accounts on the store server.
bbstoreaccounts always takes at least 2 parameters: the command name
and the account ID. Some commands require additional parameters, and
some commands have optional parameters.
Options
-c config-file
The configfile to use for connecting to the store. Default is
/etc/box/bbstored.conf.
Commands
The commands tells bbstoreaccounts what action to perform.
check account-id [fix]
The check command verifies the integrity of the store account
given, and optionally fixes any corruptions. Note: It is
recommended to run the ´simple´ check command (without fix) before
using the fix option. This gives an overview of the extent of any
problems, before attempting to fix them.
create account-id disc-set soft-limit hard-limit
Creates a new store account with the parameters given. The
parameters are as follows:
account-id
The ID of the new account to be created. A 32-bit hexadecimal
number. Cannot already exist on the server.
disc-set
The disc set from raidfile.conf(5) where the backups for this
client will be stored. A number. Each RAID-file set has a
number in raidfile.conf. This number is what´s used.
soft-limit
The soft limit is the amount of storage that the server will
guarantee to be available for storage.
hard-limit
The amount of storage that the the server will allow, before
rejecting uploads, and starting to eliminate old and deleted
files to get back down to soft-limit.
delete account-id [yes]
Deletes the account from the store server completely. Removes all
backups and deletes all references to the account in the config
files.
delete will ask for confirmation from the user, when called. Using
the yes flag, eliminates that need. This is useful when deleting
accounts from within a script or some other automated means. 0
info account-id
Display information about the given account. Example:
[root]# bbstoreaccounts info 1
Account ID: 00000001
Last object ID: 58757
Blocks used: 9864063 (38531.50Mb)
Blocks used by old files: 62058 (242.41Mb)
Blocks used by deleted files: 34025 (132.91Mb)
Blocks used by directories: 6679 (26.09Mb)
Block soft limit: 11796480 (46080.00Mb)
Block hard limit: 13107200 (51200.00Mb)
Client store marker: 1139559852000000
Explanation:
Account ID
The account ID being displayed.
Last Object ID
A counter that keeps track of the objects that have been backed
up. This number refers to the last file that was written to the
store. The ID is displayed as a decimal number, and the object
ID can be converted to a path name to a file as follows:
convert the number to hex (e.g.: 58757 => 0xE585); The last
backed up file will be (relative from the client´s store root):
e5/o85.rfw. Longer numbers infer more directories in the
structure, so as an example 3952697264 as the last object ID
gives 0xEB995FB0, which translates to a backup pathname of
eb/99/5f/ob0.rfw.
Blocks used
The number of blocks used by the store. The size in Mb depends
on the number of blocks, as well as the block size for the disc
set given in raidfile.conf(5). In this case the block size is
4096.
Blocks used by old files
The number of blocks occupied by files that have newer versions
in the store. This data is at risk for being removed during
housekeeping.
Blocks used by deleted files
The number of blocks used by files that have been deleted on
the client. This data is at risk for being removed during
housekeeping.
Blocks used by directories
The number of blocks used by directories in the store.
Block soft limit
The soft limit in blocks. The soft limit is the maximum
guaranteed storage space available to the account. When
housekeeping starts, and the old and deleted files are removed,
they are removed in chronological order (oldest first), until
the data used is less than the soft limit.
Block hard limit
The hard limit in blocks. The hard limit is the most amount of
storage the server will allow in an account. Any data above
this amount will be rejected. Housekeeping will reduce the
storage use, so more data can be uploaded.
Client store marker
bbstored(8) uses this number to determine if it needs to rescan
the entire store. If this number is different from the last
time it checked, a rescan will take place.
setlimit account-id soft-limit hard-limit
Changes the storage space allocation for the given account. No
server restart is needed.
Parameters:
account-id
The ID of the account to be modified.
soft-limit
The soft limit is the amount of storage that the server will
guarantee to be available for storage.
hard-limit
The amount of storage that the the server will allow before
rejecting uploads and starting to eliminate old and deleted
files to get back down to soft-limit.
EXAMPLES
Create an account with ID 3af on disc set 0, with a 20GB soft-limit and
a 22GB hard-limit:
bbstoreaccounts create 3af 0 20G 22G
Alter existing account ID 20 to have a 50GB soft-limit and a 55GB
hard-limit:
bbstoreaccounts setlimit 20 50G 55G
