+===================================================================
+
+bbackupd basic configuration complete.
+
+What you need to do now...
+
+1) Make a backup of $enc_key_file
+ This should be a secure offsite backup.
+ Without it, you cannot restore backups. Everything else can
+ be replaced. But this cannot.
+ KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE, OTHERWISE YOUR BACKUPS ARE USELESS.
+
+2) Send $certificate_request
+ to the administrator of the backup server, and ask for it to
+ be signed.
+
+3) The administrator will send you two files. Install them as
+ $certificate
+ $ca_root_cert
+ after checking their authenticity.
+
+4) You may wish to read the configuration file
+ $config_file
+ and adjust as appropraite.
+
+ There are some notes in it on excluding files you do not
+ wish to be backed up.
+
+5) Review the script
+ $notify_script
+ and check that it will email the right person when the store
+ becomes full. This is important -- when the store is full, no
+ more files will be backed up. You want to know about this.
+
+6) Start the backup daemon with the command
+ /usr/local/bin/bbackupd$daemon_args
+ in /etc/rc.local, or your local equivalent.
+ Note that bbackupd must run as root.
+__E
+if($backup_mode eq 'snapshot')
+{
+ print <<__E;
+
+7) Set up a cron job to run whenever you want a snapshot of the
+ file system to be taken. Run the command
+ /usr/local/bin/bbackupctl -q$ctl_daemon_args sync
+__E
+}
+print <<__E;
+
+===================================================================
+
+Remember to make a secure, offsite backup of your backup keys,
+as described in step 1 above. If you do not, you have no backups.
