NAME

       backup-manager - An easy to use backup tool for your Linux box.

SYNOPSIS

	 backup-manager [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Backup Manager is an easy-to-use tool for generating archives.

       It is designed with simplicity in mind for those who don't want an obfuscated tool for making tarballs.

       There  are  different  methods  for  building  archives: tarballs, incremental tarballs, mysql dumps, svn dump. You can also write your own
       method with a generic method that will execute a command and will archive its output.

       Every times you run Backup Manager, you can upload archives thanks to a couple of upload methods: through FTP, SSH or even with RSYNC.

       It's also possible to export your archives to removable media like CDR or DVD.

CONFIGURATION FILES

       Backup Manager's behavior is defined in configuration files. You can use different configuration files at the same time.  The default  con-
       figuration file is `/etc/backup-manager.conf'.

       An  example  should  have  been	provided  with	the  program,  most  of  the time it's installed in `/usr/share/backup-manager/backup-man-
       ager.conf.tpl'.

       If you want exhaustive details about how to  write  your  own  configuration  files,  please  refer  to	the  Backup  Manager  User  Guide:
       http://www.backup-manager.org/documentation/user-guide/

       --verbose|-v Print what happens to STDOUT.

       --no-warnings Disable warnings.

       --purge|-p Just purge old archives.

NAME

       rdiff-backup-fs - Filesystem for accessing rdiff-backup archives.

SYNOPSIS

       rdiff-backup-fs <mount_point> <repository> [repositories ...] [-option ...]

DESCRIPTION

       rdiff-backup-fs is a filesystem in userspace that reads rdiff-backup archives and provides convenient access.

OPTIONS

       --debug <0-4>
	      Run rdiff-backup-fs in foreground with given verbosity of debug messages.

       -f, --full
	      Store information about all revisions in memory. CAUTION: this may take a lot of memory if your archive contains many revisions.

       -l, --last
	      Displays	files from the most recent increment as directories, each holding every version of the file. CAUTION: this stores informa-
	      tion about all revisions in memory and therefore may take a lot of memory if archive contains many revisions.

       -c <n>, --caching <n>
	      How many files retrieved from the rdiff-backup archive may be cached by filesystem. By default rdiff-backup-fs will cache up  to	10
	      files. If this switch is set to 0, no caching will be done.

       -r <n>, --revisions <n>
	      How many revisions should be stored in memory for on demand revision retrieval. By default rdiff-backup-fs will store up to 10 revi-
	      sions in memory.

       -d, --directory <path>
	      Set directory for directory with temporary files. By default rdiff-backup-fs uses /tmp.

       -v, --version
	      Print version of rdiff-backup-fs and exit.
