Description Andrew Sanders 2013-12-13 22:43:56 UTC 
Description of problem:

The documentation seems to be wrong here:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.6/html/User_Guide/sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-User_Guide-Performing_Offline_Database_Backups-Verifying_the_Backup.html

Here are excerpts from that doc that need to be corrected:

# db-control examine DIRECTORY

# db-control verify DIRECTORY


The problem is that the commands "db-contorl examine" and "dbcontrol verify" must be run against a backup file and not against a directory.  The documentation should to be updated to reflect this.

This bug can be worked on early during the planning stages for Satellite 5.7.
