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 possibile to override this
"when" in each 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.
