-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B "/etc/backup.d/* "
-.br
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-
-To preform the actual backup actions, backupninja processes each action configuration file in
-/etc/backup.d according to the file's suffix.
-
-.IP .sh 10
-run this file as a shell script.
-.IP .rdiff
-backup action for rdiff-backup.
-.IP .dup
-backup action for duplicity.
-.IP .maildir
-backup action for slow, incremental rsyncs of tens of thousands of maildirs.
-.IP .mysql
-backup action for safe MySQL dumps.
-.IP .pgsql
-backup action for safe PostgreSQL dumps.
-.IP .ldap
-backup action for safe OpenLdap dumps.
-.IP .sys
-backup action for general system reports and hardware information.
-.IP .svn
-backup action for safe backups of subversion repositories.
-.IP .trac
-backup action for safe backups of trac repositories.
-.IP .makecd
-backup action for burning backups to CD/DVD or creating ISOs.
-
-.TP
-These files must be owned by root and must not be world or group readable/writable. Support for additional configuration types can be added by dropping bash scripts with the name of the suffix into /usr/share/backupninja.
-.TP
-The configuration files are processed in alphabetical order. However, it is suggested that you name the config files in "sysvinit style."
-.TP
-For example:
- 10-disabled.ldap.disabled
- 15-runthisfirst.sh
- 20-runthisnext.mysql
- 90-runthislast.rdiff
-.TP
-Typically, you will put a '.rdiff' config file last, so that any database dumps you make are included in the filesystem backup. Action configurations which begin end with .disabled are skipped.
-.TP
-Example templates for the action configuration files can be found in /usr/share/doc/backupninja/examples. You can also use \fBninjahelper(1)\fP, a console based "wizard" for creating backup actions.
-
-.SH SCHEDULING
-
-By default, each configuration file is processed everyday at 01:00 (1 AM). This can be changed by specifying the 'when' option in a backup action's config file or in the global configuration file.
-
-For example:
- when = sundays at 02:00
- when = 30th at 22
- when = 30 at 22:00
- when = everyday at 01
- when = Tuesday at 05:00
- when = hourly
-
-These values for "when" are invalid:
- when = tuesday at 2am
- when = tuesday at 2
- when = tues at 02
-
-A configuration file will be processed at the time(s) specified by the "when" option. If multiple "when" options are present, then they all apply. If two configurations files are scheduled to run in the same hour, then we fall back on the alphabetical ordering specified above. The "when" must occur before any sections in the action configuration file.
-
-.SH FILE FORMAT
-
-The file format of the action configuration files is "ini style." Sections are created by using square bracket. Long lines are connected with a backslash. For example:
-
- # this is a comment
- [fishes]
- fish = red
- fish = blue
- [fruit]
- apple = yes
- pear = no thanks \\
- i will not have a pear.

-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B "backupninja [ \-h ] [ \-d ] [ \-n ] [ \-t ] [ \-f filename ] [ \-\-run filename ]"
-.br
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B Backupninja
-allows you to coordinate system backups by dropping a few
-simple configuration files into /etc/backup.d/. Most programs you
-might use for making backups don't have their own configuration file
-format. Backupninja provides a centralized way to configure and
-coordinate many different backup utilities.
-.PP
-
-.SH FEATURES
-.IP - 2
-easy to read ini style configuration files.
-.IP -
-you can drop in scripts to handle new types of backups.
-.IP -
-backup actions can be scheduled.
-.IP -
-you can choose when status report emails are mailed to you (always, on warning, on error, never).
-.IP -
-console-based wizard (ninjahelper) makes it easy to create backup action configuration files.
-.IP -
-passwords are never sent via the command line to helper programs.
-.IP -
-in order to backup a db or sql database, you cannot simply copy database files. backupninja helps you safely export the data to a format which you can backup.
-.IP -
-works with Linux-Vservers.
-
-.B Backup types include:
-.IP - 2
-secure, remote, incremental filesytem backup (via rdiff-backup). incremental data is compressed. permissions are retained even with an unpriviledged backup user.
-.IP -
-basic system and hardware information.
-.IP -
-encrypted remote backups (via duplicity).
-.IP -
-safe backup of MySQL, PostgreSQL, OpenLDAP, and subversion databases.
-.IP -
-burn CD/DVDs or create ISOs.
-
-.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
-.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invoke bold face and italics,
-.\" respectively.
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-h, \-\-help
-Show summary of options
-.TP
-.B \-d, \-\-debug
-Run in debug mode, where all log messages are output to the current shell.
-.TP
-.B \-f, \-\-conffile CONF_FILE
-Use CONF_FILE for the main configuration instead of /etc/backupninja.conf
-.TP
-.B \-t, \-\-test
-Run in test mode, no actions are actually taken.
-.TP
-.B \-n, \-\-now
-Perform actions now, instead of when they might be scheduled.
-.TP
-.B \-\-run ACTION_FILE
-Runs the action configuration ACTION_FILE and exits.
-
-.SH CONFIGURATION
-
-General settings are configured in /etc/backupninja.conf. In this file you
-can set the log level and change the default directory locations. See \fBbackupnina.conf(5)\fP.
-
-To preform the actual backup actions, backupninja processes each action configuration file in
-/etc/backup.d according to the file's suffix. See \fBbackup.d(5)\fP.
-
-.SH EXAMPLE USAGE
-.TP
-Backupninja can be used to impliment whatever backup strategy you choose. It is intended, however, to be used like so:
-.TP
-First, databases are safely copied or exported to /var/backups. Often, you cannot make a file backup of a database while it is in use, hence the need to use special tools to make a safe copy or export into /var/backups.
-.TP
-Then, vital parts of the file system, including /var/backups, are nightly pushed to a remote, off-site, hard disk (using rdiff-backup). The local user is root, but the remote user is not privileged. Hopefully, the remote filesystem is encrypted.
-.TP
-In order for this to work (ie for diff-backup to run unattended), you must create ssh keys on the source server and copy the public key to the remote user's authorized keys file. For example:
-.br
-root@srchost# ssh-keygen -t dsa
-.br
-root@srchost# ssh-copy-id -i /root/.ssh/id_dsa.pub backup@desthost
-.TP
-Now, you should be able to ssh from user 'root' on srchost to user 'backup' on desthost without specifying a password. When prompted for a password by ssh-keygen, just leave it blank by hitting return. The "wizard" \fBninjahelper(1)\fP will walk you through these steps.
