NAME
     cdbBackup - Cluster configuration database backup command

SYNOPSIS
     cdbBackup [ option... ]

DESCRIPTION
     cdbBackup provides users ability to save cluster configuration database.
     The backup file generated by cdbBackup command can be restored using
     cdbRestore command.

OPTIONS
     cdbBackup takes several options:

     -d backup-directory
                 The configuration database backup file is stored in backup-
                 directory.  If this option is not specified, the backup file
                 is stored in /var/cluster/cdb-backup directory.

     -i backup-id
                 backup-id can be used to identify the backup file name. The
                 backup file name will be "cdb_backup-
                 id_<hostname>_<month>.<day>.<century><year>.<hour>:<min>:<sec>.tar.Z"
                 If this option is not specified, the backup-id part of the
                 filename will be omitted.

     -c database-header-file
                 The location of configuration database header file can be
                 specified as database-header-file. If this option is not
                 specified, default configuration database header file
                 /var/cluster/cdb/cdb.db is assumed.

     -help       Prints command usage information.

NOTES
     All nodes have to be backed up separately. The information in all the
     configuration database is not the same.

     There should be no configuration changes made when the configuration
     database is being backed up using cdbBackup.

EXAMPLE
     The following command backups the configuration database which has the
     header file "/var/cluster/cdb/cdb.db" to "/var/cluster/cdb-backup"
     directory with backup id "June1998".

     cdbBackup -i "June1998"
