SYNOPSIS

        storeBackupMount.pl -c configFile [-s server] [-l logFile] [-d]
        [-p pathToStoreBackup] [-k killTime] [-m] mountPoints...

DESCRIPTION

This script does the following:

- checks an nfs server with ping

- mounts that server via a list of mount points

- starts storeBackup (with a config file)

- umounts that server

OPTIONS

--server, -s

    name or ip address of the nfs server
    default is localhost
    

--configFile, -c

    configuration file for storeBackup.
    if option 'logFile' is set in the configration file,
    that log file is read online, if it is different from -l
    

--logFile, -l

    logFile for this process.
    default is STDOUT.
    you can log into the same logfile as storeBackup
    

--debug, -d

    generate some debug messages
    

--pathStbu, -p

    path to storeBackup.pl
    

--killTime -k

    time until storeBackup.pl will be killed.
    default is 365 days.
    the time range has to be specified in format 'dhms', e.g.
    10d4h means 10 days and 4 hours
    

--keepExistingMounts, -m

    if a mount already exists, do not umount after
    running storeBackup
    

mountPoints

    List of mount points needed to perform the backup.
    This must be a list of paths which have to be
    defined in /etc/fstab.
    -
    if you add 'ro,' or 'rw,' to the beginning of a mount
    point, you can overwrite that option set in /etc/fstab
    example:
    ro,/filesSystemToRead
       will mount /fileSystemToRead read only, even if the
       corresponding entry in /etc/fstab mounts it read write
    only root is allowed to use this feature!
    

EXIT STATUS

0 -> everything is ok

1 -> error from storeBackup

2 -> error from storeBackupMount

3 -> error from both programs
