NAME
BACKUPNINJA.CONF − Configuration file(s) for backupninja (1).
SYNOPSIS
/etc/backupninja.conf
DESCRIPTION
backupninja.conf is the general configuration file. In this file you can set the log level and change the default directory locations. You can force a different general configuration file with "backupninja −f /path/to/conf".
OPTIONS
loglevel
How verbose to make the logs.
5 = Debugging messages
4 = Informational messages
3 = Warnings
2 = Errors
1 = Fatal errors
reportemail
Send a summary of the backup status to this email address
reportsuccess
If set to ’yes’, a report email will be generated even if all modules reported success.
reportwarning
If set to ’yes’, a report email will be generated even if there was no error.
logfile
The path of the logfile.
configdirectory
The directory where all the backup action configuration files live.
scriptdirectory
Where backupninja handler scripts are found
usecolors
If set to ’yes’, use colors in the log file and debug output.
|
when |
When to process each configuration file. The value used here will be applied for each configuration file. It is possible to override this "when" in each configuration file, see also section "Scheduling" in backup.d(5). |
For example:
when = sundays
at 02:00
when = 30th at 22
when = 30 at 22:00
when = everyday at 01 <-- the default
when = Tuesday at 05:00
These values for ’when’ are equivalent:
when = tuesday
at 05:30
when = TUESDAYS at 05
These values for ’when’ are invalid:
when = tuesday
at 2am
when = tuesday at 2
when = tues at 02
vservers
If you are using Linux-Vservers (http://linux-vserver.org), there are some special capabilities that different handlers have to make vserver backups easier. See the example configuration files for each handler to configure the vserver specific variables.
