       The backupstatus command displays which operation, if any, the indicated Tape Coordinator is currently
       executing.

       The  following  example shows that the Tape Coordinator with port offset 4 has so far dumped about 1.5 MB
       of data for the current dump operation, and is currently dumping the volume named "user.pat.backup":

          % backup status -portoffset 4
          Task 4001:  Dump:   1520 Kbytes transferred,  volume user.pat.backup

       backup_status - Reports a Tape Coordinator's status

-portoffset <TCportoffset>
           Specifies the port offset number of the Tape Coordinator for which to report the status.

       -localauth
           Constructs  a  server  ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The backup
           command interpreter presents it to the Backup Server, Volume  Server  and  VL  Server  during  mutual
           authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument. For more details, see backup(8).

       -cell <cellname>
           Names  the  cell  in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag.
           For more details, see backup(8).

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

       The following message indicates that the Tape Coordinator is not currently performing an operation:

          Tape coordinator is idle

       Otherwise, the output includes a message of the following format for each running or pending operation:

          Task <task_ID>:  <operation>:   <status>

       where

       <task_ID>
           Is a task identification  number  assigned  by  the  Tape  Coordinator.   It  begins  with  the  Tape
           Coordinator's port offset number.

       <operation>
           Identifies  the  operation  the  Tape  Coordinator is performing, which is initiated by the indicated
           command:

           Dump
               The backupdump command.

           Restore
               The backupdiskrestore, backupvolrestore, or backupvolsetrestore commands.

           Labeltape
               The backuplabeltape command.

           Scantape
               The backupscantape command.

           SaveDb
               The backupsavedb command.

           RestoreDb
               The backuprestoredb command.

       <status>
           Indicates the job's current status in one of the following messages.

           number Kbytes transferred, volume volume_name
               For a running dump operation, indicates the number of kilobytes copied to tape or a  backup  data
               file so far, and the volume currently being dumped.

           number Kbytes, restore.volume
               For a running restore operation, indicates the number of kilobytes copied into AFS from a tape or
               a backup data file so far.

           [abort requested]
               The  backupkill  command  was  issued,  but  the  termination  signal has yet to reach the Tape
               Coordinator.

           [abort sent]
               The operation is canceled by the  backupkill  command.   Once  the  Backup  System  removes  an
               operation from the queue or stops it from running, it no longer appears at all in the output from
               the command.

           [butc contact lost]
               The  backup  command  interpreter  cannot reach the Tape Coordinator. The message can mean either
               that the Tape Coordinator handling the operation was terminated or failed while the operation was
               running, or that the connection to the Tape Coordinator timed out.

           [done]
               The Tape Coordinator has finished the operation.

           [drive wait]
               The operation is waiting for the specified tape drive to become free.

           [operator wait]
               The Tape Coordinator is waiting for the backup operator to insert a tape in the drive.

       If the Tape Coordinator is  communicating  with  an  XBSA  server  (a  third-party  backup  utility  that
       implements the Open Group's Backup Service API [XBSA]), the following message appears last in the output:

          <XBSA_program> Tape coordinator

       where <XBSA_program> is the name of the XBSA-compliant program.

       The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on  every  machine  where  the  Backup
       Server  is  running,  or  must  be  logged  onto  a  server  machine as the local superuser "root" if the
       -localauth flag is included.
