## (how to encrypt and optionnally sign the backups)

+## WARNING: old (pre-0.9.2) example.dup used to give wrong information about
+## the way the following options are used. Please read ahead
+## carefully.
+##
+## If the encryptkey variable is set:
+## - data is encrypted with the GnuPG public key specified by the encryptkey
+## variable
+## - if signing is enabled, the password variable is used to unlock the GnuPG
+## private key used for signing; else, you do not need to set the password
+## variable
+## If the encryptkey option is not set:
+## - data signing is not possible
+## - the password variable is used to encrypt the data with symmetric
+## encryption: no GnuPG key pair is needed

+# when set to yes, encryptkey variable must be set bellow; if you want to use
+# two different keys for encryption and signing, you must also set the signkey
+# variable bellow.
# default is no, for backward compatibility with backupninja <= 0.5.
-# when set to yes, encryptkey option must be set below.
sign = yes
-# key ID used for data encryption and, optionnally, signing.

+# if not set, symmetric encryption is used, and data signing is not possible.

-# BIG FAT WARNING
-# 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
include = /var/spool/cron/crontabs
include = /var/backups
# be used:
# 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).
-# E.g. vsinclude = /home will backup the /home partition 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.
+# 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.
+# vsinclude supports globbing with '*'.
