.SH NAME
BACKUPNINJA \- A lightweight, extensible meta-backup system
.br
.I
"a silent flower blossom death strike to lost data."
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "backupninja [ \-h ] [ \-d ] [ \-n ] [ \-t ] [ \-f filename ] [ \-\-run filename ]"
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Backupninja 
allows you to coordinate system backups by dropping a few
simple configuration files into /etc/backup.d/. Most programs you
might use for making backups don't have their own configuration file
format. Backupninja provides a centralized way to configure and
coordinate many different backup utilities.
