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".

OPTIONS

       loglevel
              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.

       logfile
              The path of the logfile.

       configdirectory
              The directory where all the backup  action  configuration  files
              live.

       scriptdirectory
              Where backupninja handler scripts are found

       usecolors
              If set to ’yes’, use colors in the log file and debug output.

       when   When  to  process  each  configuration file. The value used here
              will be applied for each configuration file. It is possibile  to
              override  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.
