NAME
twcbackup - Backup software

SYNOPSIS
twcbackup [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
twcbackup is a flexible, easy to configure backup program released as free software under the GNU GPL. Upon start it will read the configuration file /etc/twcbackup, which can be created/edited using the program twcbackupconf. The configuration file specifies which tasks are required for the backup run.

Usually, twcbackup is run from crontab, for instance every night at 3:00. The program must be started as root, as it otherwise doesn't have sufficient permissions to perform a backup.

OPTIONS
twcbackup follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes ('-').


 * --check
 * Check twcbackup configuration file, no backup is performed.


 * --version
 * Prints out twcbackup version.


 * -q, --quiet
 * By default twcbackup prints out the backup log after performing the backup. However this may be unnecessary, for instance if twcbackup is started from cron and the report is sent my mail. This option suppresses the backup log output.


 * -f, --file
 * Use as configuration file, instead of /etc/twcbackup.
