NAME
       vgcfgbackup -- backup volume group descriptor area

SYNOPSIS
       vgcfgbackup   [--commandprofile	ProfileName]  [-d|--debug]  [-f|--file
       Filename]    [-h|--help]	   [--ignorelockingfailure]	[-P|--partial]
       [--reportformat {basic|json}] [-v|--verbose] [VolumeGroupName...]

DESCRIPTION
       vgcfgbackup  allows  you	 to backup the metadata of your volume groups.
       If you don't name any volume groups on the command line,	 all  of  them
       will be backed up.

       In a default installation, each volume group gets backed up into a sep-
       arate file bearing the name  of	the  volume  group  in	the  directory
       /etc/lvm/backup.	 You can write the backup to an alternative file using
       -f.  In this case if you are backing up more than one volume group  the
       filename	 is  treated as a template, and %s gets replaced by the volume
       group name.

       NB. This DOESN'T backup user/system data in logical volume(s)!	Backup
       /etc/lvm regularly too.

OPTIONS
       See lvm(8) for common options.
