##
## This is an example rdiff-backup configuration file.
## The defaults are useful in most cases, just make sure
## to configure the destination host and user.
##
## passed directly to rdiff-backup
# options = --force
## default is 0, but set to 19 if you want to lower the priority.
# nicelevel = 19
## default is yes. set to no to skip the test if the remote host is alive
# testconnect = no
## default is not to limit bandwidth.
## set to a number in bytes/second to limit bandwidth usage. Use a negative
## number to set a limit that will never be exceeded, or a positive number
## to set a target average bandwidth use. cstream is required. See cstream's
## -t option for more information. 62500 bytes = 500 Kb (.5 Mb)
# bwlimit = 62500
## should backupninja ignore the version differences between source and remote
## rdiff-backup? (default: no)
## This could be useful if the version differences between rdiff-backup instances
## on remote and local side are different, and you are certain there are no
## problems in using mis-matched versions and want to get beyond this check.
## An example usage could be the remote side has its authorized_keys configured
## with command="rdiff-backup --server" to allow for restricted yet automated
## password-less backups
# ignore_version = no

# A few notes about includes and excludes:
# 1. include, exclude and vsinclude statements support globbing with '*'
# 2. Symlinks are not dereferenced. Moreover, an include line whose path
# contains, at any level, a symlink to a directory, will only have the
# symlink backed-up, not the target directory's content. Yes, you have to
# dereference yourself the symlinks, or to use 'mount --bind' instead.
# Example: let's say /home is a symlink to /mnt/crypt/home ; the following
# line will only backup a "/home" symlink ; neither /home/user nor
# /home/user/Mail will be backed-up :
# include = /home/user/Mail
# A workaround is to 'mount --bind /mnt/crypt/home /home' ; another one is to
# write :
# include = /mnt/crypt/home/user/Mail
# 3. All the excludes come after all the includes. The order is not otherwise
# taken into account.

# If vservers = yes in /etc/backupninja.conf then the following variables can

# vsnames = all | <vserver1> <vserver2> ... (default = all)
# vsinclude = <path>
# vsinclude = <path>
# ...
# Any path specified in vsinclude is added to the include list for each vserver
# listed in vsnames (or all if vsnames = all, which is the default).
#
# For example, vsinclude = /home will backup the /home directory in every
# vserver listed in vsnames. If you have 'vsnames = foo bar baz', this
# vsinclude will add to the include list /vservers/foo/home, /vservers/bar/home
# and /vservers/baz/home.
# Vservers paths are derived from $VROOTDIR.
