NAME

plakar-source — Manage Plakar backup source configuration

plakar source [subcommand ...]

The plakar source command manages the configuration of data sources for Plakar to backup.

The configuration consists in a set of named entries, each of them describing a source for a backup operation.

A source is defined by at least a location, specifying the importer to use, and some importer-specific parameters.

The subcommands are as follows:

add name location [option=value ...]: Create a new source entry identified by name with the specified location describing the importer to use. Additional importer options can be set by adding option=value parameters.
check name: Check wether the importer for the source identified by name is properly configured.
ls: Display the current sources configuration. This is the default if no subcommand is specified.
ping name: Try to open the data source identified by name to make sure it is reachable.
rm name: Remove the source identified by name from the configuration.
set name [option=value ...]: Set the option to value for the source identified by name. Multiple option/value pairs can be specified.
unset name [option ...]: Remove the option for the source entry identified by name.

The plakar-source utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
