Repairing Backups
Vertica can reconstruct backup manifests and remove unneeded backup objects.
Performing a Quick Repair
The quick-repair
task rebuilds the backup manifest, based on the manifests contained in the backup location.
Use the following template to perform a quick repair task:
$ vbr -t quick-repair -c configfile.ini
Performing Garbage Collection
The collect-garbage
task rebuilds your backup manifest and deletes any backup objects that do not appear in the manifest. You can include the optional --report-file
parameter to output results to a delimited JSON file.
Use the following template to perform a garbage collection task:
$ vbr -t collect-garbage -c configfile.ini --report-file=path/filename
