# Mandatory options are uncommented with sugested values
# Other options are commented out with their default values
#
# Note: You dont need to manually specify vservers using "include = /vservers".
#       They're automatically backuped if vserver is set to "yes" on you backupninja.conf.

# you want backupninja to fsck it; this option will just be used if fscheck
# (see below) is set to 'yes'

# specify backup storage format: short, long or mirror (i.e, no rotations)
#
# In the short format, incremental backups are rotated every day the handler
# runs an by a finite number of times (backup.0, backup.1, backup.1, etc), so
# if you want to have incremental backups for longer periods (like months) you
# have to configure rotations for 30 or more using the "days" parameter at the
# [general] section in the handler config.
# 
# The short format is better described here:
# http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Incremental
# 
# The long format is inspired by the maildir handler and allows keeping backups
# of longer periods (weeks and months) using less rotations as it stores
# the increments in folders like daily.1, weekly.1, monthly.1 and has three
# rotation parameters:
# 
#   keepdaily   = number of daily backup increments
#   keepweekly  = number of weekly backup increments
#   keepmonthly = number of monthly backup increments
#
format = short

# for short storage format, specify the number of backup increments (min = 2, set to 1 or less to disable)
#
# Note that setting days = 0 is almost the same as using format = mirror except
# that with the days config your backup gets a .0 suffix at the destination
# folder, making it easier to turn it later to an incremental backup.
