 Features:
  - easy to read ini style configuration files.
- - secure, remote, incremental filesytem backup (via rdiff-backup).
-   incremental data is compressed. permissions are retained even
-   with an unpriviledged backup user.
- - backup of mysql databases (via mysqlhotcopy and mysqldump).
- - backup of ldap databases (via slapcat and ldapsearch).
- - passwords are never sent via the command line to helper programs.
  - you can drop in scripts to handle new types of backups.
  - backup actions can be scheduled
  - 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/)
