NAME
tarsnap.conf - configuration file for tarsnap(1)DESCRIPTION
The file is read by the tarsnap(1) utility and specifies default options which will be ignored if the options in question are specified at the command line. Options may be specified in /etc/tarsnap.conf and/or ~/.tarsnaprc if the two files conflict, the user's local configuration takes precedence.The file(s) contain lines consisting of a case-sensitive option name and zero or one parameters depending upon the option. Empty lines and lines starting with a `#' character are ignored.
If a parameter begins with a `~' character, it will be replaced by the value of the HOME variable (the current user's home directory).
The following options may be specified:
- aggressive-networking
- cachedir cache-dir
- checkpoint-bytes bytespercheckpoint
- disk-pause X
- exclude pattern
- humanize-numbers
- include pattern
- insane-filesystems
- keyfile key-file
- lowmem
- maxbw
- maxbw-rate
- maxbw-rate-down
- maxbw-rate-up
- nodump
- normalmem
- no-aggressive-networking
- no-config-exclude
- no-config-include
- no-disk-pause
- no-humanize-numbers
- no-insane-filesystems
- no-maxbw
- no-maxbw-rate-down
- no-maxbw-rate-up
- no-nodump
- no-print-stats
- no-quiet
- no-snaptime
- no-store-atime
- no-totals
- print-stats
- quiet
- snaptime file
- store-atime
- totals
- verylowmem
Each option is handled the same way as the corresponding --option see tarsnap(1) for more details. Note that the normalmem and no-* options are only useful in the user-specific ~/.tarsnaprc configuration file, at which point they act to override options set in the global /etc/tarsnap.conf configuration file.
