NAME

       xfsinvutil - xfsdump inventory database checking and pruning utility

SYNOPSIS

       xfsinvutil [-F|-i] [-m media_label] -M mount_point mm/dd/yyyy
       xfsinvutil [-F|-i] [-m media_label] -u UUID mm/dd/yyyy
       xfsinvutil [-F] -s SESSION_ID
       xfsinvutil -i
       xfsinvutil -C

DESCRIPTION

       xfsdump  maintains  an  online  dump  inventory  in /var/lib/xfsdump/inventory.  The -I option of xfsdump
       displays the inventory contents hierarchically.  The  levels  of  the  hierarchy  are:  filesystem,  dump
       session, stream, and media file.

       xfsinvutil  is  a  utility  to  check  this inventory database for consistency, to remove entries of dump
       sessions which may no longer be of relevance, and to browse the contents of the inventory.

       The following command line options are available:

       -F   Don't prompt the operator.  When xfsinvutil encounters a  matching  dump  session,  xfsinvutil  will
            normally  ask  the  operator  for  permission  to delete the entry. With this option the deletion is
            performed, no questions asked.

       -i   Interactive mode.  Causes xfsinvutil to run in a mode that will allow the  operator  to  browse  and
            modify  the  contents  of the inventory. Please refer to the Interactive Mode section below for more
            information.

       -M mount_point mm/dd/yyyy
            Prunes dump sessions identified by the given mount point which were created prior to  the  specified
            date.  Optionally -m may be be specified to further limit the matching dump sessions by media label.
            xfsinvutil will prompt the operator prior to pruning a dump session unless the -F or -i options  are
            given.

       -u UUID mm/dd/yyyy
            Like  -M, except the matching filesystem is specified using its universally unique identifier (UUID)
            instead of its mount point.

       -m media_label
            If specified, only sessions with at least one media file whose label  matches  this  value  will  be
            eligible for pruning.  This restriction is in addition to those imposed by the date and the -M or -u
            options.   This  option  allows the pruning of all inventory references to media which may have been
            overwritten or lost. Note that this option does not apply to sessions with no media files.

       -s SESSION_ID
            Prunes the dump session identified by the given session id.  xfsinvutil  will  prompt  the  operator
            prior to pruning a dump session unless the -F option is given.

       -C   With  this option, xfsinvutil performs consistency checks for all entries in the inventory database.
            It fixes any problems found. If no consistent  entries  are  found  ,  the  corresponding  inventory
            database file is removed.

   Interactive Mode
       When  run with -i, xfsinvutil will present the operator with a hierarchical representation of the xfsdump
       inventory.  In this mode, the operator can use the arrow keys (or the h j  k  l  keys)  to  navigate  the
       inventory and also use the following keys and functionality:

       +    Expand a branch of the tree.

       -    Collapse a branch of the tree.

       *    Fully expand a branch of the tree.

       %    Fully collapse a branch of the tree.

       h    Move selection to the parent entry.

       l    Move selection to the child entry.

       j    Move selection to next entry.

       k    Move selection to previous entry.

       d    Mark the current record, and all sub-records, to be deleted.

       u    Clear the current record and all parent records from being deleted.

       i    Import another xfsdump inventory.

       ?    Show help window.

       x    Commit any changes made to the inventory, and exit the program.

       q    Exit the program without committing any changes to the inventory.

       Inventories from other hosts can be imported to create a larger common inventory.  It is recommended that
       the  contents  of  /var/lib/xfsdump/inventory on the remote host be copied to a temporary local directory
       prior to running xfsinvutil.  When xfsinvutil is run in interactive mode, and the operator hits  i,  they
       will  be prompted for the path to the inventory to be imported.  xfsinvutil will then add the contents of
       the imported inventory to the main window, and all entries will be marked as imported.  The operator  can
       then  delete  any  of  these entries that are not to be imported.  When the operator commits the changes,
       xfsinvutil will import any entries which were not marked as deleted.  Deleted entries  are  not  actually
       deleted from the original imported inventory.

NOTES

   Inventory
       Each  dump  session  updates  an  inventory  database  in  /var/lib/xfsdump/inventory.   xfsdump uses the
       inventory to determine the base of incremental and resumed dumps.

       This database can be displayed by  invoking  xfsdump  with  the  -I  option.   The  display  uses  tabbed
       indentation to present the inventory hierarchically.  The first level is filesystem.  The second level is
       session.   The  third  level  is media stream (currently only one stream is supported).  The fourth level
       lists the media files sequentially composing the stream.
