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.
