- you can drop in scripts to handle new types of backups.

- you can choose when status report emails are mailed to you
(always, on warning, on error, never).
- console-based wizard (ninjahelper) makes it easy to create
backup action configuration files.
- passwords are never sent via the command line to helper programs.
- works with Linux-Vservers (http://linux-vserver.org/)

with an unpriviledged backup user.

The following options are available:
-h, --help This usage message
-d, --debug Run in debug mode, where all log messages are
output to the current shell.
-f, --conffile FILE Use FILE for the main configuration instead
of /etc/backupninja.conf
-t, --test Run in test mode, no actions are actually taken.
-n, --now Perform actions now, instead of when they
might be scheduled.
--run FILE runs the specified action FILE (e.g. one of the /etc/backup.d/ files)
-t, --test Test run mode. This will test if the backup could run, without actually
preforming any backups. For example, it will attempt to authenticate
or test that ssh keys are set correctly.
-n, --now Perform actions now, instead of when they might be scheduled.
No output will be created unless also run with -d.
--run FILE Runs the specified action FILE (e.g. one of the /etc/backup.d/ files).
