TKLBAM - should be easy way to get backup ID of current server (and other info related to this server)

[JedMeister]

As per the subject line, there should be a simple way to check which backup ID relates to a particular server. Plus some other basic TKLBAM info. E.g. something like this:

# ssh root@my.server.com
# tklbam-info
TKLBAM vx.xx
Backup ID: 3
Last backup: (whether it was full/incremental; the date; size; etc)

Does tklbam-status not accomplish this? (Although it could do with some more info perhaps?)

[JedMeister]

@dafyddj - you may well be correct... TBH, I have not tested it. At the very least we should ensure that there is a man page for tklbam-status as per the existing docs.

It looks to me that the Backup Id shows up right after login on WebShell.

I just got:
TKLBAM Backup ID #xxx, last updated 2020-01-02 xxxx

(The following will post to a new issue):

(Strangely though, below the note of the Backup ID above, I get the message before the Input Line::
TKLBAM (Backup and Migration) not initiated
... please run tlkbam - init

This is on a Joomla 15.5 Build from TKLDEV.
I did run a complete backup last night and it completed.

@l-arnold - please see my note on the new issue you posted (#1393).

Also FWIW, the info included in the MOTD (message of the day - the text that is displayed when you log in via Webshell or SSH) comes from tklbam-status.
