BACKUPNINJA.CONF(5)						backupninja package					       BACKUPNINJA.CONF(5)

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  over-
	      ride 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.

DEFAULTS

       loglevel = 4
       reportemail = root
       reportsuccess = yes
       reportwarning = yes
       logfile = /var/log/backupninja.log
       configdirectory = /etc/backup.d

NAME

       vgcfgbackup - create or update LVM volume group configuration backup file

SYNOPSIS

       vg_conf_path] vg_name

DESCRIPTION

       The command saves the LVM configuration for a volume group in a default or alternate configuration backup file (see the option).

       By default, runs automatically each time an LVM command changes the LVM configuration.  In this case, it always uses the default configura-
       tion backup file.  An existing default configuration backup file is renamed with an extension of

   Options and Arguments
       recognizes the following options and arguments:

	      vg_name		  The path name of a volume group.

	      Save the configuration using an alternate file name specified by
				  vg_conf_path.

				  If is omitted, the default file name is in the form:

				  base_vg_name is the base name of vg_name.  For example, if vg_name is specified as base_vg_name is

	      Update the configuration backup file with the latest LVM configuration.
				  Only those physical volumes added since the configuration backup file was last modified need to be online.

				  If is omitted, all physical volumes for vg_name must be online.

RETURN VALUE

       exits with one of the following values:

	      Successful completion.
	      Failure.
		     Errors occurred when information from the volume group was being accessed.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   Environment Variables
       determines the language in which messages are displayed.

       If is not specified or is null, it defaults to "C" (see lang(5)).

       If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, all internationalization variables default to "C" (see environ(5)).

EXAMPLES

       Back up LVM configuration information for volume group in the default backup file

       Update LVM configuration information corresponding to volume group in the default backup file

       Back up LVM configuration information for volume group in the alternate configuration backup file

WARNINGS

       It is recommended that any alternate configuration backup file be created in the root file system (as is the case  with	the  default  path
       name).  This facilitates easy volume group recovery during maintenance mode, such as after a system crash.
