FABSYS_BACKUP-NEEDED(1)

NAME
fabsys_backup-needed - Query FABS if a volume needs to be backed up

SYNOPSIS
fabsys backup-needed <volume>

DESCRIPTION
The fabsys backup-needed command can be used to see if FABS will backup the volume <volume> on its next backup run. The result of this command will tell the caller whether or not a volume will be skipped on the next volume run, or if a new dump of the volume will be done. If the volume will be skipped, fabsys backup-needed will also say why.

A volume may be skipped because it has not changed since its last backup, or because the volume is offline (see config option "dump/if_offline" in fabsys_config(1)). In the future, volumes may be skipped for other reasons as well, according to your FABS configuration.

PRIVILEGED REQUIRED
The issuer of this command must be able to read the FABS configuration (specifically, the database access information), typically in /etc/fabs/fabs.yaml.d/.
