BBACKUPD-CONFIG(8)						    Box Backup							BBACKUPD-CONFIG(8)

       bbackupd-config - Box Backup client daemon configuration file generator

SYNOPSIS

       bbackupd-config config-dir backup-mode account-num server-hostname working-dir backup-dir [backup-dir ...]

DESCRIPTION

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

       config-dir
	   Configuration directory. Usually /etc/box.

       backup-mode
	   Either lazy or snapshot.

       account-num
	   The client account number. This is set by the bbstored administrator.

       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.

FILES

       /etc/box/bbackupd.conf

       /etc/box/bbackupd/NotifySysAdmin.sh
