NAME

DESCRIPTION

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 ‘#’ character are ignored.

If a parameter begins with a ‘~’ character, it will be replaced by the home directory of the effective user ID.

The following options may be specified:

aggressive-networking

 

cachedir cache-dir

 

checkpoint-bytes bytespercheckpoint

 

disk-pause X

 

exclude pattern

 

force-resources

 

humanize-numbers

 

include pattern

 

insane-filesystems

 

iso-dates

 

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-force-resources

 

no-humanize-numbers

 

no-insane-filesystems

 

no-iso-dates

 

no-maxbw

 

no-maxbw-rate-down

 

no-maxbw-rate-up

 

no-nodump

 

no-print-stats

 

no-quiet

 

no-retry-forever

 

no-snaptime

 

no-store-atime

 

no-totals

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 /usr/local/etc/tarsnap.conf configuration file.
