NAME

bbackupctl - control command of the client daemon of the Box Backup system

SYNOPSIS

bbackupctl [-q] [-c config_file] command

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the bbackupctl command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

bbackupctl can be used to send commands to the client daemon of the Box Backup system.

OPTIONS

-q
Run in quiet mode. Reduce the output of the program.
-c config_file
Use an alternate configuration file instead of the default one.
command
sync
Start the synchronization with the remote store. The goal is mainly to implement snapshot mode backup. When the daemon is configured to run is this mode, this command is used to launch the synchronization via a cron job.
force-sync
Force the start of the synchronization with the remote store, even if the return value of the script indicated by the config file parameter SyncAllowScript says not to run the sync.
reload
Tell the daemon to reload its configuration file.
terminate
Terminate the daemon.
wait-for-sync
Wait until the next synchronization start, then exit the command. With this you can obtain a synchronous backup, when the command exits you know that the remote store is in sync with your local data (be careful that recently modified files will not be immediatly uploaded to the store, see MinimumFileAge and MaxUploadWait config file parameters).

FILES

/etc/boxbackup/bbackupd.conf
