NCSA AFS Backup Schedule

Here is the following backup schedule for data residing in AFS:

Volume type	Backup schedule
projects.*	daily
web.*	daily
ftp.*	daily
packages.*	weekly
src.*	weekly
user.*	daily
scratch.*	never

The locations for the above volumes are usually /afs/ncsa/<volume type>. So the path /afs/ncsa/packages/habanero is for the volume packages.habanero. If you want to know the volume name for a particular directory then you can find out in one of the following ways:

You can list the mountpoint for a particular directory:

 % fs lsmount 

An example of this:

 % fs lsmount /afs/ncsa/packages/habanero
 '/afs/ncsa/packages/habanero' is a mount point for volume '#packages.habanero'

Or you can list the quota for the current directory and it will tell you the volume name:

 % cd <path>
 % fs lq

And here is an example of this:

 % cd /afs/ncsa/packages/habanero
 % fs lq
 Volume Name            Quota    Used    % Used   Partition 
 packages.habanero      20000    4112       21%         96%
