NAME
       s3qladm - Manage S3QL file systems

SYNOPSIS
       s3qladm [options] <action> <storage url>

       where action may be either of passphrase, upgrade, delete or download-metadata.

DESCRIPTION
       S3QL  is  a  file  system for online data storage. Before using S3QL, make sure to consult the full documentation (rather than just the man
       pages which only briefly document the available userspace commands).

       The s3qladm command performs various operations on unmounted S3QL file systems. The file system must not be mounted when using  s3qladm	or
       things will go wrong badly.

       The storage url depends on the backend that is used. The S3QL User's Guide should be consulted for a description of the available backends.

OPTIONS
       The s3qladm command accepts the following options.

	  --debug <module>
		 activate  debugging  output  from <module>. Use all to get debug messages from all modules. This option can be specified multiple
		 times.

	  --quiet
		 be really quiet

	  --log <target>
		 Write logging info into this file. File will be rotated when it reaches 1 MB, and at most 5 old log files will be  kept.  Specify
		 none to disable logging. Default: none

	  --authfile <path>
		 Read authentication credentials from this file (default: ~/.s3ql/authinfo2)

	  --ssl  Always  use  SSL connections when connecting to remote servers. For backends that allow only encrypted connections, S3QL uses SSL
		 automatically, even if this option is not set.

	  --cachedir <path>
		 Store cached data in this directory (default: ~/.s3ql)

	  --version
		 just print program version and exit

       Hint: run s3qladm <action> --help to get help on the additional arguments that the different actions take.

ACTIONS
       The following actions may be specified:

       passphrase
	      Changes the encryption passphrase of the file system.

       upgrade
	      Upgrade the file system to the newest revision.

       delete Delete the file system with all the stored data.

       download-metadata
	      Interactively download backups of the file system metadata.

EXIT STATUS
       s3qladm returns exit code 0 if the operation succeeded and 1 if some error occurred.
