BBACKUPD.CONF(5) Box Backup BBACKUPD.CONF(5)NAMEbbackupd.conf - Box Backup client daemon configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/box/bbackupd.conf
DESCRIPTION
AccountNumber
The account number of this client. This is set by the admin of the
store server.
UpdateStoreInterval
Specifies the interval between scanning of the local discs. To
avoid cycles of load on the server, this time is randomly adjusted
by a small percentage as the daemon runs. Defaults to 1 hour.
MinimumFileAge
Specifies how long since a file was last modified before it will be
uploaded. Defaults to 6 hours.
MaxUploadWait
If a file is repeatedly modified it won´t be uploaded immediately
in case it´s modified again. However it should be uploaded
eventually. This is how long we should wait after first noticing a
change. Defaults to 1 day.
MaxFileTimeInFuture
AutomaticBackup
SyncAllowScript
Use this to temporarily stop bbackupd from syncronising or
connecting to the store. This specifies a program or script script
which is run just before each sync, and ideally the full path to
the interpreter. It will be run as the same user bbackupd is
running as, usually root.
The script prints either "now" or a number to STDOUT (and a
terminating newline, no quotes). If the result was "now", then the
sync will happen. If it´s a number, then the script will be asked
again in that number of seconds.
For example, you could use this on a laptop to only backup when on
a specific network.
MaximumDiffingTime
How much time should be spent on diffing files.

something like /var/bbackupd.
Server
