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