NAME

       backup-manager - An easy to use backup tool for your Linux box.

SYNOPSIS

         backup-manager [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Backup Manager is an easy-to-use tool for generating archives.

       It is designed with simplicity in mind for those who don't want an obfuscated tool for making tarballs.

       There are different methods for building archives: tarballs, incremental tarballs, mysql dumps, svn dump.
       You can also write your own method with a generic method that will execute a command and will archive its
       output.

       Every times you run Backup Manager, you can upload archives thanks to a couple of upload methods: through
       FTP, SSH or even with RSYNC.

       It's also possible to export your archives to removable media like CDR or DVD.

CONFIGURATION FILES

       Backup Manager's behavior is defined in configuration files. You can use different configuration files at
       the same time.  The default configuration file is `/etc/backup-manager.conf'.

       An   example  should  have  been  provided  with  the  program,  most  of  the  time  it's  installed  in
       `/usr/share/backup-manager/backup-manager.conf.tpl'.

       If you want exhaustive details about how to write your own  configuration  files,  please  refer  to  the
       Backup Manager User Guide.
