safekeep.conf

NAME

safekeep.conf - Configuration file for 'safekeep(1)'

SYNOPSIS

This file resides in /etc/safekeep/ from where it will be automatically picked up by safekeep(1).

DESCRIPTION

This configuration file holds safekeep global settings. The format of the file is a simple key-value pair similar to Java properties files: lines starting with # are ignored as comments, keys are separated from values by =, and leading and trailing spaces are ignored.

PARAMETERS

backup.user

The Unix user under which the server will run. If not specified, safekeep will just run under the current user.

base.dir

The base directory for date repository relative paths. If not specified, it defaults to the home directory of the backup user.

email.to

In addition to writing the session logs on the standard output, safekeep can also send the logs via email to a number of recipients. This comma-separated list of emails designates the recipients of the logs. If not specified, safekeep will not attempt to email the logs.

email.smtp.server

Specifies the SMTP server used for sending mails if the email.to specifies any recipients. If not specified, safekeep will just use /usr/sbin/sendmail to deliver the mail.

nice.adjustment

The nice level adjustment for safekeep, for the time being used only on the server side. It specifies an integer to be added to the current nice level. Nicenesses range from -20 (most favorable scheduling) to 19 (least favorable). If no nice level is specified, safekeep is not niced.

bandwidth.overall

This is the default bandwidth limit for both upload and download for all the clients. It is an integer number of KB/s (see NOTES section for more information). This value is optional.

bandwidth.download

This is the default bandwidth limit for download across all clients. If specified (with a value greater than 0) it will override the value set in bandwidth.overall (refer to it for more informatio). This value is optional.

bandwidth.upload

This is the default bandwidth limit for upload across all clients. If specified (with a value greater than 0) it will override the value set in bandwidth.overall (refer to it for more informatio). This value is optional.

NOTES

Safekeep uses trickle to implement bandwidth throttling (see m[blue]http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=tricklem[] for more information). You will need to install it separately to use this feature (most Linux distributions have it packaged as trickle).

The bandwidth is calculated as an average over a 256KB window, and it is expressed as an integer number of kilo-bytes per second (e.g. 100, meaning 100KB/s). Bandwidth limits of zero are ignored.

The bandwidth throtlling can be customized for both download and upload (see bandwidth.download and bandwidth.upload) as well as on a per-client basis (see safekeep.backup(5) for more information).
