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.
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.
