# CONFIG FILE VERSION #
#######################

config_version	1.2

###########################
# SNAPSHOT ROOT DIRECTORY #
###########################

# All snapshots will be stored under this root directory.
snapshot_root	/DataVolume/backup/

# If no_create_root is enabled, rsnapshot will not automatically create the
# snapshot_root directory. This is particularly useful if you are backing
# up to removable media, such as a FireWire drive.
#
no_create_root	1

#################################
# EXTERNAL PROGRAM DEPENDENCIES #
#################################

# LINUX USERS:   Be sure to uncomment "cmd_cp". This gives you extra features.
# EVERYONE ELSE: Leave "cmd_cp" commented out for compatibility.
#
# See the README file or the man page for more details.
#
cmd_cp		/opt/bin/cp

# uncomment this to use the rm program instead of the built-in perl routine.
cmd_rm		/opt/bin/rm

# rsync must be enabled for anything to work.
cmd_rsync	/opt/bin/rsync

# Uncomment this to enable remote ssh backups over rsync.
cmd_ssh	/opt/bin/ssh

# Comment this out to disable syslog support.
#cmd_logger	/path/to/logger

# Uncomment this to specify a path to "du" for disk usage checks.
cmd_du		/opt/bin/du

#########################################
#           BACKUP INTERVALS            #
# Must be unique and in ascending order #
# i.e. hourly, daily, weekly, etc.      #
#########################################

interval	hourly	6
interval	daily	7
interval	weekly	4
interval	monthly	3

############################################
#              GLOBAL OPTIONS              #
# All are optional, with sensible defaults #
############################################

# If your version of rsync supports --link-dest, consider enable this.
# This is the best way to support special files (FIFOs, etc) cross-platform.
# The default is 0 (off).
#
link_dest	1

# Verbose level, 1 through 5.
# 1     Quiet           Print fatal errors only
# 2     Default         Print errors and warnings only
# 3     Verbose         Show equivalent shell commands being executed
# 4     Extra Verbose   Show extra verbose information
# 5     Debug mode      More than you care to know
#
verbose		5

# Same as "verbose" above, but controls the amount of data sent to the
# logfile, if one is being used. The default is 3.
loglevel	5

# If you enable this, data will be written to the file you specify. The
# amount of data written is controlled by the "loglevel" parameter.
logfile	/opt/var/log/rsnapshot

# The include and exclude parameters, if enabled, simply get passed directly
# to rsync. If you have multiple include/exclude patterns, put each one on a
# seperate line. Please look up the --include and --exclude options in the
# rsync man page for more details. 
# 
#include	???
#include	???
exclude	Recycled/
exclude	Trash/
exclude	lost+found/
exclude	.gvfs/
exclude	Downloads/
exclude	.cache/

# The include_file and exclude_file parameters, if enabled, simply get
# passed directly to rsync. Please look up the --include-from and
# --exclude-from options in the rsync man page for more details.
#
#include_file	/path/to/include/file
#exclude_file	/path/to/exclude/file

# Default rsync args. All rsync commands have at least these options set.
#
#rsync_short_args	-a
#rsync_long_args	--delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded

# ssh has no args passed by default, but you can specify some here.
#
#ssh_args	-p 22

# Default arguments for the "du" program (for disk space reporting).
# The GNU version of "du" is preferred. See the man page for more details.
#
#du_args	-csh

# If this is enabled, rsync won't span filesystem partitions within a
# backup point. This essentially passes the -x option to rsync.
# The default is 0 (off).
#
#one_fs		0

# If enabled, rsnapshot will write a lockfile to prevent two instances
# from running simultaneously (and messing up the snapshot_root).
# If you enable this, make sure the lockfile directory is not world
# writable. Otherwise anyone can prevent the program from running.
#
lockfile	/opt/var/run/rsnapshot.pid
