---------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that the special configuration file
`/usr/share/backup-manager/backup-manager.conf.tpl is here for the
debconf needs.
If you want to hack backup-manager by hand, just edit
`/etc/backup-manager.conf' not the tpl one !
Installing the cron script
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Backup-manager can be run by cron, but starting with version 0.7.9-2
this facility is disabled by default as it can be rather costly. To
enable it, either run "dpkg-reconfigure backup-manager" and select the
desired cron frequency, or copy the provided template file manually by
running the following command:
install /usr/share/backup-manager/backup-manager.cron.tpl /etc/cron.daily/backup-manager
Replace cron.daily by cron.weekly or cron.monthly if you want less
frequent backups.
Notes for the Amazon S3 upload method
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to use the "s3" upload method (provided since version 0.7.3),
you need to install the libnet-amazon-s3-perl package.
Upgrade Notes for versions prior to 0.5.9a
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Since 0.5.9a the configuration file format has changed (several
configuration keys renamed).
If you keep your old configuration file when upgrading, backup-manager
will trigger warnings at runtime for every deprecated variables in the
conffile.
There is a simple and safe way to upgrade your configuration file,
just use the contrib script:
/usr/share/backup-manager/contrib/upgrade-conffile.sh /etc/backup-manager.conf
This will perform the upgrade, show you the unified diff and ask for
confirmation before overwriting.
