NAME

bbackupd-config - utility to configure the client daemon of the Box Backup system

SYNOPSIS

bbackupd-config config_file backup_mode account_number server_hostname working_directory backup_directory [backup_directory...]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the bbackupd-config command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

bbackupd-config can be used to generate the configuration for the client daemon of the Box Backup system, bbackupd.

OPTIONS

config_file
Location of the generated configuration. Generally /etc/boxbackup.
backup_mode
The general behavior of the backup daemon:
lazy
In this mode the daemon will scan the backup directories at regular interval looking for modified files. Only files over a certain age will be uploaded to the remote store.
snapshot
In this mode the daemon will upload a snapshot of the backup directories when it is told to do it. Manual or cron invocation via bbackupctl is necessary for backup to occur.
account_number
The hexadecimal number of the account you are configuring (provided by the remote server administrator).
server_hostname
Name of the backup server hosting the remote store.
working_directory
The directory containing management files of the client daemon. Generally /var/lib/bbackupd.
backup_directory
Directory to backup. Multiple directories can be specified separated by white spaces. Be careful not to specify directories containing other mount points, this could affect the efficiency of the backup.
