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 de-
     fault options which will be ignored if the options in question  are  speci-
     fied    at    the	  command   line.    Options   may   be   specified   in
     /usr/local/etc/tarsnap.conf and/or ~/.tarsnaprc; if the two files conflict,
     the user's local configuration takes precedence.

     The tarsnap.conf file(s) contain lines consisting of a  case-sensitive  op-
     tion  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
	     specified	here  only take effect if they are not specified via the
	     current user's local configuration file or via the command line.

     ~/.tarsnaprc
	     The tarsnap.conf configuration file for the current user.	 Parame-
	     ters  specified  here take effect unless they are specified via the
