TARSNAP.CONF(5)						       TARSNAP.CONF(5)

NAME
       tarsnap.conf - configuration file for tarsnap(1)

DESCRIPTION
       The tarsnap.conf 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/tarsnap.conf and/or ~/.tarsnaprc; if the two files con‐
       flict, the user's local configuration takes precedence.

       The tarsnap.conf 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 Ql # character are ignored.

       If a parameter begins with a Ql ~ 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/tarsnap.conf configuration file.

FILES
	    /etc/tarsnap/tarsnap.conf
		   The system global tarsnap.conf configuration file.  Parame‐
		   ters specified here only take effect if they are not speci‐
		   fied via the current user's local configuration file or via
		   the command line.

	    ~/.tarsnaprc
		   The tarsnap.conf configuration file for the current user.
		   Parameters specified here take effect unless they are spec‐
		   ified via the command line.
