DESCRIPTION

13       This utility can be used to create a dump of the current  gPodder  data
14       (configuration  files  + downloads), optionally replacing the real con‐
15       tents of the download folder with zero-byte files (for submitting  your
16       data to a bug report without having to transfer lots of data).

USAGE FOR BUG REPORTING

44       This command is useful if you want to report a bug in gPodder:
45
46       gpodder-backup --create bug123.gpo.tar.gz --fake-downloads
47              Backup  your  current  data to file bug123.gpo.tar.gz, but don't
48              store download data (create zero-size dummy files instead).  You
49              can then attach bug123.gpo.tar.gz to the bug report.
50
51       If  you are instructed to try gPodder from a "clean state", you can use
52       the following command (be sure to backup your data before!):
53
54       gpodder-backup --purge
55              Remove all gPodder data, so you can start from a clean state
56

EXAMPLES

58       gpodder-backup --create today.gpo.tar.gz
59              Backup your current data to file today.gpo.tar.gz
60
61       gpodder-backup --extract mybackup.gpo.tar.gz
62              Restore (without purging) the contents of mybackup.gpo.tar.gz
63
64       gpodder-backup --extract default.gpo.tar.gz --purge
65              Remove   current   data,   then   restore   the   contents    of
66              default.gpo.tar.gz
67
68       gpodder-backup --purge
69              Remove all gPodder data, so you can start from a clean state

EXTRACTING FAKED DOWNLOADS

72       Please  note that any existing downloads will be overwritten with zero-
73       byte files when using the --extract option of the gpodder-backup  util‐
74       ity with a backup created with --fake-downloads
