backintime(1)							   USER COMMANDS						     backintime(1)

NAME

       backintime - a simple backup tool for Linux.

       This is command line tool.  The graphical tools are: backintime-gnome and backintime-kde4.

SYNOPSIS

       backintime [ --backup | --backup-job | --snapshots-path | --snapshots-list | --snapshots-list-path | --last-snapshot | --last-snapshot-path
       | --help | --version | --license ]

DESCRIPTION

       Back In Time is a simple backup tool for Linux. The backup is done by taking snapshots of a specified set of folders.

       All you have to do is configure: where to save snapshots, what folders to backup.  You can also specify a backup schedule: disabled,  every
       5  minutes, every 10 minutes, every hour, every day, every week, every month. To configure it use one of the graphical interfaces available
       (backintime-gnome or backintime-kde4).

       It acts as a 'user mode' backup tool. This means that you can backup/restore only folders you have write access to (actually you can backup
       read-only folders, but you can't restore them).

       If you want to run it as root you need to use 'su'.

       A new snapshot is created only if something changed since the last snapshot (if any).

       A snapshot contains all the files from the selected folders (except for exclude patterns).  In order to reduce disk space it use hard-links
       (if possible) between snapshots for unchanged files. This way a file of 10Mb, unchanged for 10 snapshots, will use only 10Mb on the disk.

       When you restore a file 'A', if it already exists on the file system it will be renamed to 'A.backup.currentdate'.

       For automatic backup it use 'cron' so there is no need for a daemon, but 'cron' must be running.

   user-callback
       During backup process the application can call a user callback at different steps.   This  callback  is	"$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/backintime/user-
       callback" (by default $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is ~/.config).

       The first argument is the progile id (1=Main Profile, ...).

       The second argument is the progile name.

       The third argument is the reason:

	      1      Backup process begins.

	      2      Backup process ends.

	      3      A new snapshot was taken. The extra arguments are snapshot ID and snapshot path.

	      4      There was an error. The second argument is the error code.
		     Error codes:

		     1	    The application is not configured.

		     2	    A "take snapshot" process is already running.

		     3	    Can't find snapshots folder (is it on a removable drive ?).

		     4	    A snapshot for "now" already exist.
