BBACKUPQUERY(8) | Box Backup | BBACKUPQUERY(8) |
NAME¶
bbackupquery - Box Backup store query and file retrieval
SYNOPSIS¶
bbackupquery [-q] [-c configfile] [command ...]
DESCRIPTION¶
bbackupquery is the main way of interacting with the backup store from a Box Backup client machine. It supports both interactive and batch modes of operation.
It can be used to reviewing the status of a client machine´s backup store, getting status from the store server. The main use is to retrieve files and directories when needed.
bbackupquery supports interactive and batch modes of operation. Interactive mode allows for interaction with the server much like an interactive FTP client.
Batch mode is invoked by putting commands into the invocation of bbackupquery. Example:
bbackupquery "list home-dirs" quit
Note that commands that contain spaces are enclosed in double quotes. If the quit command is omitted, after the preceding commands are completed, bbackupquery will enter interactive mode.
