STOREBACKUPVERSIONS(1)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    STOREBACKUPVERSIONS(1)

NAME

       storeBackupVersions.pl - locates different versions of a file saved with storeBackup.pl.

SYNOPSIS

	       storeBackupVersions.pl -f file [-b root]  [-v]
		[-l [-a | [-s] [-u] [-g] [-M] [-c] [-m]]]

OPTIONS

       --file, -f
		   file name (name in the backup, probably with suffix
		   from compression)

       --backupRoot -b
		   root of storeBackup tree, normally not needed

       --verbose, -v
		   print verbose messages

       --locateSame, -l
		   locate same file with other names

       --showAll, -A
		   same as: [-s -u -g -M -c -m]

       --size, -s
		   show size (human readable) of source file

       --uid, -u
		   show uid of source file

       --gid, -g
		   show gid of source file

       --mode, -M
		   show permissions of source file

       --ctime, -c
		   show creation time of source file

       --mtime, -m
		   show modify time of source file

       --atime, -a
		   show access time of source file

       It does not always work correctly when a file is saved blocked *and* non-blocked in different backups. In such cases, use option
       --locateSame.
