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".

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.

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.

reportwarning = yes
logfile = /var/log/backupninja.log
