+.TH VGCFGBACKUP 8 "LVM TOOLS #VERSION#" "Sistina Software UK" \" -*- nroff -*-
+.SH NAME
+vgcfgbackup \- backup volume group descriptor area
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B vgcfgbackup
+.RB [ \-d | \-\-debug ]
+.RB [ \-f | \-\-file " filename" ]
+.RB [ \-h | \-\-help ]
+.RB [ \-\-ignorelockingfailure ]

+.RI [ VolumeGroupName ...]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B 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.
+.sp
+In a default installation, each volume group gets backed up into a separate
+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.
+.sp
+NB. This DOESN'T backup user/system data in logical
+volume(s)! Backup /etc/lvm regularly too.
+.SH OPTIONS
+See \fBlvm\fP for common options.
