# This is a sample configuration file for GNU tar backup script. # See end of file for copying conditions # User name or email address of the administrator of backups. A report # will be sent to this address when the backup terminates ADMINISTRATOR="root@localhost" # (Optional) Path to tar binary. TAR=/bin/tar # (Optional) Path to rsh binary or its equivalent. You may wish to # set it to ssh as shown in the example below, to improve security. # In this case you will have to use public key authentication. RSH=/usr/local/bin/ssh # (Optional) Path to rsh binary on remote mashines. This will be # passed via --rsh-command option to the remote invocation of # tar RSH_COMMAND=/usr/local/bin/ssh # Name of temporary file to hold volume numbers. This needs to be accessible # by all the machines which have filesystems to be dumped. VOLNO_FILE=/root/volume # Device to use for dumping. It should be on the host # on which the dump scripts are run. TAPE_FILE=/dev/rmt0 # Blocking factor to use for writing the dump. BLOCKING=124 # List of file systems to be dumped. If prefixed with a HOST: # the filesystem is accessed on the given HOST, unless it # coincides with the local machine name. # If a file system starts with a slash, it is handled as a local # one. BACKUP_DIRS='remote1:/etc remote1:/var/spool/crontab' # Alternatively, you may leave this variable unassigned, and # keep the list of filesystems to be dumped in file # $SYSCONFDIR/backup/dirs, one filesystem per line. Empty # lines and shell comments are allowed in this file. The location # of this file may be overridden using DIRLIST variable, e.g.: # DIRLIST=/etc/my-backup/dirlist # List of individual files to be dumped. # These should be accesible from the machine on which the dump is run. BACKUP_FILES='' # This list may also be kept in file $SYSCONFDIR/backup/files, the # format of which is the same as described above. The location of # this file may be overridden by setting FILELIST variable: # FILELIST=/etc/my-backup/filelist # Name of 'exclude file list'. It is searched under $SYSCONFDIR/tar-backup # on remote machines XLIST=exclude_files # Default directory for storing incremental listings on remote # machines is $SYSCONFDIR/tar-backup. It can be overridden using # REMOTEBACKUPDIR variable # Default directory for storing backup logs is $SYSCONFDIR/backup/log. # It can also be overridden via LOGPATH variable. # Time to sleep between dumps of any two successive filesystems SLEEP_TIME=15 # Script to be run when it's time to insert a new tape in for the next # volume. Administrators may want to tailor this script for their site. # If this variable isn't set, tar will use some default behavior which is # probably defined in the manual. #DUMP_REMIND_SCRIPT='rsh apple-gunkies /home/gd2/dump/dump-remind' # Message to display on the terminal while waiting for dump time. Usually # this will just be some literal text, preferably something more # entertaining than this. The awk script here saves some redundant # repetition, but is not really all that desirable.
