brackup - do a backup using Brackup
$ brackup [-v] --from=<source> --to=<target> [--output=my_backup.brackup] [--save-stats]
Required. The source or root of your backup. Must match a [SOURCE:NAME] config section in your ~/.brackup.conf (which is auto-created for you on first run, so then you just have to go modify it). See Brackup::Root for more.
Required. The destination or target for your backup. Must match a [TARGET:NAME] config section in your ~/.brackup.conf. See Brackup::Target for more.
Optional. Defaults to "source-target-YYYYMMDD.brackup". This is the "metafile" index you'll need to do a restore.
Specify the configuration file to use; defaults to ~/.brackup.
Optional. Flag to indicate that stats output should be recorded to a file. If =FILE is omitted, defaults to "source-target-YYYYMMDD.stats."
Show status during backup.
Don't actually store any data on the target.
Prints the size, in kB, of data underneath each directory (recursively) which will be backed up.
Produces output suitable for piping into zenity --progress to get a pretty GUI progress bar while running a backup. This option is incompatable with --verbose, as both print to STDOUT.
zenity --progress
--verbose
List the names of the sources defined in your configuration file.
List the names of the targets defined in your configuration file.
