Introduction

We are exploiting the official PSI backup system "Legato" by installing and configuring the Linux client like WELL described in this PSI How To.
Please follow the PSI How To first and if it's not enough then invest time by also reading this Wiki page.

T3 backuped hosts

We've decided to backup the following systems:
  • t3admin01
  • t3cmsvobox02
  • t3ce02
  • t3ui04
  • t3fs13
  • t3fs14
  • t3se01 <-- as far as 12th Jun 2013 our production dCache SRM
  • t3dcachedb03 <-- as far as 12th Jun 2013 our production dCache DB
  • t3wn20

How to recover files by CLI

You can browse and decide to recover the backups of a t3* file or directory by log in into that server t3* and by invoking 'recover'; it follows an example of its usage on the server t3wn20, note the bs1 parameter, that's the PSI Legato backup server:

[root@t3wn20 tmp]# recover -d /tmp/prova -s bs1
Current working directory is /tmp//
recover> ?
6477:recover: Available commands are:
   add [-q] [filename] - add `filename' to list of files to be recovered
   cd [dir] - change directory to dir
   changetime [date | -l locale_date] - change the time that you are browsing, changetime [-l] displays the supported [[locale_]date] format
   debug
   delete [filename] - delete `filename' from the recover list
   destination - print destination location for recovered files
   dir [/w] [filename...] - list filename
   exit - immediately exit program
   force - overwrite existing files
   help or `?' - print this list
   lf [-aAcCdfFgilLqrRsStu1] [filename...] - list filename type
   list [-c | -l]  - list the files marked for recover
   ll [-aAcCdfFgilLqrRsStu1] [filename...] - long list filename
   ls [-aAcCdfFgilLqrRsStu1] [filename...] - list filename
   noforce - do not overwrite existing files
   pwd - print current directory
   quit - immediately exit program
   recover - recover requested files
   relocate [dir] - specify new location for recovered files
   verbose - toggle verbose mode; feedback about what is going on
   versions [filename] - report on each version of file `filename'
   volumes [filename] - report volumes needed to recover marked files
6478:recover: `filename' can be either a file or a directory

How to recover files by GUI ( simpler )

You can browse and decide to restore files also by the GUI nwrecover:
[root@t3wn20 tmp]# nwrecover -s bs1

  • Legato graphical command nwrecover:

  • Legato graphical command nwrecover:
    Legato_GUI_to_recover_files_or_dirs_RECOVER_PHASE.png

Legato installation example for ver. 7.4 ( but now we use v. 7.6 )

As an occasional T3 admin you're NOT suppose to install and configure Legato; probably you simply want to restore a file instead.
You can find the Legato installation file in this dir:
[root@t3admin01 home]# ll /root/legato-backup-clients/
total 407664
-rwx------ 1 root root 417031839 Feb 10 19:31 nw74sp5_linux_x86_64.tar.gz

This is the Legato installation procedure on Linux 64bit:

[root@t3nfs01 ~]# tar -xzvf nw74sp5_linux_x86_64.tar.gz
