bbackupd8Box BackupBox Backup0.11bbackupdBox Backup client daemonbbackupd-DFkqvVT-c config-file-t tagDescriptionbbackupd runs on client computers in the
background, finding new files to back up. When it is time for a backup,
bbackupd will connect to the server
(bbstored) to upload the files.A running bbackupd daemon can be controlled with
the bbackupctl command, to make it shut down, reload
its configuration, or start an immediate backup.bbackupd needs to be configured to tell it which
files to back up, how often, and to which server (running
bbstored). See the Client Configuration page for more
information. For this, you must write a configuration file. You must
either place it in the default location, or tell
bbackupd where to find it.You can check the default location with the
option. The default on Unix systems is usually
/etc/box/bbackupd.conf. On Windows systems, it is
bbackupd.conf in the same directory where
bbackupd.exe is located. If bbackupd cannot find or
read the configuration file, it will log an error message and exit.bbackupd usually writes log messages to the
system logs, using the facility local5, which you can
use to filter them to send them to a separate file. It can also write them
to the console, see options below. If bbackupd is not
doing what you expect, please check the logs first of all.Options config-fileUse the specified configuration file. If
is omitted, the last argument is the configuration file. If none
is specified, the default is used (see above).Debugging mode. Do not fork into the background (do not run
as a daemon). Not available on Windows.No-fork mode. Same as for bbackupd. Not
available on Windows.Keep console open after fork, keep writing log messages to
it. Not available on Windows.Run more quietly. Reduce verbosity level by one. Available
levels are NOTHING, FATAL,
ERROR, WARNING,
NOTICE, INFO,
TRACE, EVERYTHING. Default
level is NOTICE in non-debugging builds. Use
once to drop to WARNING level, twice for
ERROR level, four times for no logging at
all.-vRun more verbosely. Increase verbosity level by one. Use
once to raise to INFO level, twice for
TRACE level, three times for
EVERYTHING (currently the same as
TRACE).Run at maximum verbosity (EVERYTHING
level). tagTag each console message with specified marker. Mainly
useful in testing when running multiple daemons on the same
console.Timestamp each line of console output.Files/etc/box/bbackupd.confSee Alsobbackupd.conf5, bbackupd-config8, bbackupctl8AuthorsBen SummersPer ThomsenJames O'Gorman
