TARSNAP.CONF(5)		      File Formats Manual	       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
       /usr/local/etc/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 `#' 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

       print-stats

       quiet

       retry-forever

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

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/tarsnap.conf
	       The system global tarsnap.conf configuration file.   Parameters

	       The  tarsnap.conf configuration file for	the current user.  Pa-
