Backup Account Management

The arx-account command allows you to work directly on backup accounts. It allows you to:

  • Create
  • Delete
  • Extract (from storage to a directory or a disk)
  • Get information
  • Integrate (from a directory or a disk into storage)
  • Purge
  • Measure used quota
  • Synchronize

Standard maintenance operations are performed automatically (purge, quota measurement, and synchronization). However, you can force them if needed for specific situations.

If you run the arx-account command without any parameters on the storage server command line, you will directly get help on the available features.

To work on a group of accounts, you can add the + character before the root account name.

Example:

If you want to get information about the "demo" account only, type:

arx-account info demo

If you want to get information about the "demo" account and all its descendant accounts, type:

arx-account info +demo
