-O --owner owner If backup is on a TSM server, indicate –O original API client (nodename)
-h --help Show help and usage for the command
Details:
This command is used to rebuild a backup label file by reading each backup header on the
media. For backups written to tape, this process will forward past the backup and check for
additional backups and append backup information to the header file.
Backups written to disk, NFS, or TSM can also be used to recreate backup labels. All backup
files must be available when rebuilding backup labels.
For backups written to disk, you must specify the Backup ID of the backup you want to rebuild
the backup label. If you do not know or have more than one, you can specify “all” and all
backups located on the device without a label with be rebuilt.
For tape backups, the stbuildlabel command will forward through the entire tape to locate all
backups. Use CTRL-C to stop the stbuildlabel command from reading through the entire tape if
you know all labels have been rebuilt.
