8.8. White-listing and Skipping Steps When Performing Backups

A backup using the satellite-maintain backup command proceeds in a sequence of steps. To skip part of the backup add the --whitelist option to the command and add the step label that you want to omit.

  • To display a list of available step labels, enter the following command: 

    # satellite-maintain advanced procedure run -h

  • To skip a step of the backup, enter the satellite-maintain backup command with the --whitelist option. For example: 

    # satellite-maintain backup online --whitelist backup-metadata  -y /var/backup_directory
