ibackup(1)

NAME

ibackup - backup configuration files

SYNOPSIS

ibackup [configuration|system|whatever]

DESCRIPTION

Create a backup of configuration files using tar with the

options -cflpX, with support to exclude files. The script needs

bash, if you do not have bash in /bin/bash, create a link or

change the first line of /usr/bin/ibackup. The backup will be

named hostname_date_time.tar, if gzip is installed it will be

gzipped (.gz) otherwise if compress is installed compressed (.Z).

There is an option to encrypt the tarball, if openssl is in

stalled. You can also let the tarball upload to some other host,

if you have scp (secure copy, comes with openssh).

It is meant to be used automated as a cronjob.

NOTES

Please edit /etc/ibackup.conf to fit your needs.
