SYNOPSIS

10

DESCRIPTION

12       Backup Manager is an easy-to-use tool for generating archives.
13
14       It  is  designed  with  simplicity  in mind for those who don't want an
15       obfuscated tool for making tarballs.
16
17       There are different methods for building archives: tarballs,  incremen‐
18       tal tarballs, mysql dumps, svn dump. You can also write your own method
19       with a generic method that will execute a command and will archive  its
20       output.
21
22       Every times you run Backup Manager, you can upload archives thanks to a
23       couple of upload methods: through FTP, SSH or even with RSYNC.
24
25       It's also possible to export your archives to removable media like  CDR
26       or DVD.
