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.

CertificateFile

PrivateKeyFile
The path to the client's private key. This should only be
readable by root.
TrustedCAsFile
The Certificate Authority created by
bbstored-certs(8).

usually something like /var/bbackupd.
Server
This section relates to the running daemon.
PidFile
The location of the process ID file. Defaults to
