Use the lsbackup
command to list the backup requests that you created with the backup command. These requests are awaiting delivery to the scheduler.
The lsbackup
command only lists backup requests that have not yet been sent to the scheduler by means of the --go
option. For example, if you create a backup request, specify --go
, and then execute lsbackup
, obtool
does not display the request.
