bbackupd.conf
BBACKUPD.CONF(5) Box Backup BBACKUPD.CONF(5)NAME
bbackupd.conf - Box Backup client daemon configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/box/bbackupd.conf
DESCRIPTION
AccountNumber
The account number of this client. This is set by the admin of the store server.
UpdateStoreInterval
Specifies the interval between scanning of the local discs. To avoid cycles of load on the server, this time is randomly adjusted by a
small percentage as the daemon runs. Defaults to 1 hour.
MinimumFileAge
Specifies how long since a file was last modified before it will be uploaded. Defaults to 6 hours.
MaxUploadWait
If a file is repeatedly modified it won't be uploaded immediately in case it's modified again. However it should be uploaded
eventually. This is how long we should wait after first noticing a change. Defaults to 1 day.
MaxFileTimeInFuture
AutomaticBackup
SyncAllowScript
Use this to temporarily stop bbackupd from syncronising or connecting to the store. This specifies a program or script script which is
run just before each sync, and ideally the full path to the interpreter. It will be run as the same user bbackupd is running as,
usually root.
The script prints either "now" or a number to STDOUT (and a terminating newline, no quotes). If the result was "now", then the sync
will happen. If it's a number, then the script will be asked again in that number of seconds.
For example, you could use this on a laptop to only backup when on a specific network.
MaximumDiffingTime
How much time should be spent on diffing files.
DeleteRedundantLocationsAfter
FileTrackingSizeThreshold
DiffingUploadSizeThreshold
StoreHostname
The hostname or IP address of the bbstored(8) server.
StorePort
The port used by the server. Defaults to 2201.

LogFileLevel
CommandSocket
Where the command socket is created in the filesystem.

NotifyScript
The location of the script which runs at certain events. This script is generated by bbackupd-config(8). Defaults to
/etc/box/bbackupd/NotifySysAdmin.sh.
NotifyAlways
CertificateFile
The path to the client's public certificate.
PrivateKeyFile
The path to the client's private key. This should only be readable by root.
TrustedCAsFile
The Certificate Authority created by bbstored-certs(8).
KeysFile
The data encryption key. This must be kept safe at all costs, your data is useless without it!
DataDirectory
A directory to keep temporary state files. This is usually something like /var/bbackupd.
Server
This section relates to the running daemon.
PidFile
The location of the process ID file. Defaults to /var/run/bbackupd.pid.
BackupLocations
This section defines each directory to be backed up. Each entry must have at least a Path entry and, optionally, include and exclude
directives.
Multiple include and exclude directives may appear.
Path
The path to back up.
ExcludeFile
Exclude a single file.
ExcludeFilesRegex
Exclude multiple files based on a regular expression. See re_format(7).

AlwaysIncludeDir
Include a single directory from a directory which has been excluded.
AlwaysIncludeDirsRegex

ExcludeFilesRegex = .*.(mp3|MP3)$
AlwaysIncludeFile = /home/someuser/importantspeech.mp3
