# backupdir = < path/to/destination > (default = /var/backups/mysql)
# where to dump the backups. hotcopy backups will be in a subdirectory
# 'hotcopy' and sqldump backups will be in a subdirectory 'sqldump'
+# This variable is interpolated, see backup.d (5) for which variables are
+# available.
#
# hotcopy = < yes | no > (default = no)
# make a backup of the actual database binary files using mysqlhotcopy.
+# When using hotcopy, backupdir must be a dir inside each vserver! You can use
+# the interpolation feature to do this for multiple vservers by starting
+# backupdir with %v (not /%v), which will be replaced by the current
+# vserver root.
#
# sqldump = < yes | no > (default = no)
# make a backup using mysqldump. this creates text files with sql commands
# compress = < yes | no > (default = yes)
# if yes, compress the sqldump output.

-# vsname = <vserver> (no default)
-# what vserver to operate on (only used if vserver = yes
-# in /etc/backupninja.conf), if you do not specify a vsname the
-# host will be operated on
+# vsnames = all | <vserver1> <vserver2> (no default)
+# what vservers to operate on (only used if vserver = yes
+# in /etc/backupninja.conf), if you do not specify vsnames the
+# host will be operated on.
+#
+# Note that backupninja 0.9.6 and before used "vsname" to run in a single
+# vserver. It also automatically prepended the vserver root directory to
+# backupdir. Newer versions still do this if you're using the deprecated (but
+# still supported) "vsname" variable. To achieve the same effect while using
+# the vsnames variable, prepend backupdir with %v
#
# NB: databases = all doesn't seem to work with hotcopy = yes
# when vsname is specified, I would like to know how to fix this.
