8# (Optional) Path to tar binary.
9TAR=/bin/tar
10
11# (Optional) Path to rsh binary or its equivalent. You may wish to
12# set it to ssh as shown in the example below, to improve security.
13# In this case you will have to use public key authentication.
14RSH=/usr/local/bin/ssh

16# (Optional) Path to rsh binary on remote mashines. This will be
17# passed via --rsh-command option to the remote invocation of
18# tar
19RSH_COMMAND=/usr/local/bin/ssh

21# Name of temporary file to hold volume numbers.  This needs to be accessible

32# List of file systems to be dumped. If prefixed with a HOST:
33# the filesystem is accessed on the given HOST, unless it
34# coincides with the local machine name.
35# If a file system starts with a slash, it is handled as a local
36# one.

38# Alternatively, you may leave this variable unassigned, and
39# keep the list of filesystems to be dumped in file
40# $SYSCONFDIR/backup/dirs, one filesystem per line. Empty
41# lines and shell comments are allowed in this file. The location
42# of this file may be overridden using DIRLIST variable, e.g.:
43# DIRLIST=/etc/my-backup/dirlist
44
45# List of individual files to be dumped.
46# These should be accesible from the machine on which the dump is run.
47BACKUP_FILES=''
48# This list may also be kept in file $SYSCONFDIR/backup/files, the
49# format of which is the same as described above. The location of
50# this file may be overridden by setting FILELIST variable:
51# FILELIST=/etc/my-backup/filelist

54# on remote machines
55XLIST=exclude_files

57# Default directory for storing incremental listings on remote
58# machines is $SYSCONFDIR/tar-backup. It can be overridden using

61# Default directory for storing backup logs is $SYSCONFDIR/backup/log.
62# It can also be overridden via LOGPATH variable.

73# Message to display on the terminal while waiting for dump time.  Usually
