2 # this config file will save various reports of vital system information.
3 # by default, all the reports are enabled and are saved in /var/backups.
5 # requires dpkg, debconf-utils, sfdisk, and hwinfo
7 # (1) a capture of the debconf package selection states. This file
8 # can be used to restore the answers to debconf questions for
9 # packages that you will be installing through (2) below. To
10 # do this, run: "debconf-set-selections < debconfsel.txt"
12 # (2) a list of all the packages installed and removed.
13 # this file can be used to restore the state of installed packages
14 # by running "dpkg --set-selections < dpkg-selections.txt and
15 # then run "apt-get -u dselect-upgrade". If you have the
16 # debconf-set-selections file from (1), you should restore those first.
18 # (3) the partition table of all disks.
19 # this partition table can be used to format another disk of
20 # the same size. this can be handy if using software raid and
21 # you have a disk go bad. just replace the disk and partition it
22 # by running "sfdisk /dev/sdb < partitions.sdb.txt"
23 # (MAKE SURE YOU PARTITION THE CORRECT DISK!!!)
25 # (4) hardware information.
26 # detailed information on most important aspects of the hardware.
29 # here are the defaults, commented out:
31 # The output from the sys handler will be placed in $parentdir
32 # parentdir = /var/backups
34 # packagesfile = /var/backups/dpkg-selections.txt
35 # selectionsfile = /var/backups/debconfsel.txt
38 # NOTE: the __star__ below will be replaced by the disks found on the
39 # system (e.g. partitions.sda.txt, partitions.sdb.txt). If you change
40 # the partitionsfile default below, be sure to include the __star__
41 # replacement in the filename, or you will get one file for only one disk,
42 # the others being written to the same file, and then overwritten by the next.
43 # partitionsfile = /var/backups/partitions.__star__.txt
47 # hardwarefile = /var/backups/hardware.txt
50 # If vservers = yes in /etc/backupninja.conf then the following variables can
52 # vsnames = all | <vserver1> <vserver2> ... (default = all)
