DESCRIPTION

       The bbackupd-config script creates configuration files and client certificates. It takes at least six parameters:

	   Configuration directory. Usually /etc/box.

       backup-mode

       account-num

       server-hostname
	   The hostname or IP address of the bbstored server.

       working-dir
	   A directory to keep temporary state files. This is usually something like /var/bbackupd. This can be changed in bbackupd.conf later on
	   if required.

       backup-dir
	   A space-separated list of directories to be backed up. Note that this does not traverse mount points.
