DESCRIPTION
       Use this utility to  convert  on-line  (quick)  snapshot-based  backups
       (created  with the ’’’msql-zrm-backup --backup-type quick’’’ option) to
       standard (near-line) ZRM for MySQL archive, or to remove unwanted quick
       backups from the MySQL server. It is not possible to convert a standard
       ZRM for MySQL backup archive to a quick backup.

       Please   see   the   ZRM   for   MySQL   documentation   (http://mysql-
       backup.zmanda.com/)  for procedures on how to configure and use ZRM for
       MySQL.


OPTIONS
       --convert-to-regular|--mount-snapshots|--remove-backup
              The --convert-to-regular option converts a quick snapshot backup
              (created  with  the  ’’’msql-zrm-backup  --backup-type  quick’’’
              option) to a standard backup. It does this by copying  the  data
              from  the  snapshot  to the ZRM server destination directory and
              then deleting the snapshot.

              The --remove-backup option simply  removes  the  backup  without
              copying the data first.

              The  --mount-snapshots  option is provided as a convenience; use
              it to mount  a  snapshot  volume  that  has  been  inadvertently
              unmounted (such as when a server has been re-booted).

       --source-directory directory_name]
              Specifies the quick snapshot-based backup to be managed.

       --backup-set name
              Specify the backup-set. The default value is BackupSet1. If such
              a value is already present, it will be used.

       --options-file conf_file
              Set  the  file  along   with   full   pathname   that   contains
              mysql-zrm-backup  configuration  options; this file has the same
              format as mysql-zrm.conf(5).

       --tmpdir temp_dir
              Full path of the directory to  be  used  for  storing  temporary
              files  and  directories  on the backup host. If not specified it
              defaults to the system  specified  temporary  directory  on  the
              backup host, e.g. /tmp.

       --quiet|--no-quiet
              Choose  --quiet  to  suppress display of log messages on stdout.
              Choose no-quiet to display the log messages stdout.  Default  is
              --no-quiet.

       --verbose
              Provide  verbose  output  in the log. Default is that verbose is
              turned off and a terse output is generated.

       --help Displays the help message and  exits.  This  command  line  only
              parameter cannot be specified in the configuration file.

FILES
       /var/lib/mysql-zrm
              Directory under which all backup data is stored.


       /etc/mysql-zrm/backup set name/mysql-zrm.conf
              The ZRM for MySQL configuration file.


RETURN VALUES
       On success, zero is returned. On error, a non-zero value is returned.
