Extra large file or directory backups

When the directory volume has exceeded the applicable scope of a single archive file, follow the steps below.

Steps to follow

  1. Determine the volume size and local task directory planning first.
  2. Perform a Volume Backup:
peppykeep backup large-dir run --apply --config-home /path/to/conf --data-dir /path/to/large-dir --project-key project-a --chunk-size 4GiB
  1. To view the status of a recent task:
peppykeep backup large-dir list --config-home /path/to/conf --project-key project-a --top 10
  1. Verify Local Task Structure and Volume Files:
peppykeep backup large-dir verify --config-home /path/to/conf --project-key project-a
  1. When recovery is required, perform a recovery from the local task directory:
peppykeep backup large-dir restore --config-home /path/to/conf --project-key project-a --output-dir /path/to/restore-out

backup large-dir restore relies on local task directories and volume files. If the local partition is missing, complete the local file before performing the recovery.

results verification

  • Task status is complete.
  • The scrolling file is complete, and the verification is passed.
