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".

    How verbose to make the logs.

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.
