ccollect looks for its configuration in /etc/ccollect or, if set, in
|
||||
the directory specified in $CCOLLECT_CONF.
|

the directory specified by $CCOLLECT_CONF
|
||||
(use CCOLLECT_CONF=/your/config/dir ccollect.sh on the shell).
|
||||
|
||||
When you start ccollect, you have either to specify which intervall
|
||||
to backup (daily, weekly, yearly; you can specify the names yourself, see below).
|
||||
|
||||
The intervall is used to specify how many backups to keep.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also some self explaining parameters you can pass to ccollect, simply use
|
||||
"ccollect.sh --help" for info.
|
||||
|
||||
The "intervall" is used to know how many backups to keep.

The general configuration can be found below $CCOLLECT_CONF/defaults or

/etc/ccollect/defaults. All options specified here are valid for
|

all source definitions, if the values are not overwritten in the source
|

configuration.
|

All configuration entries are plain-text files.

||||
The intervall definition can be found below $CCOLLECT_CONF/defaults/intervalls/ or
|
||||
/etc/ccollect/defaults/intervalls.
|
||||
|
||||
Every file below this directory specifies an intervall. The name of the file is the
|
||||
name of the intervall:
|
||||
|
||||
intervalls/<intervall name>
|
||||
|
||||
The number in this file tells ccollect how many versions to keep.
|
||||
The content of this file should be a single line containing a number.
|
||||
This number defines how many versions of this intervall to keep.

source will be written to this file. General errors and errors of

non existent or broken configuration will be logged to stderr.
|

|

I do not think it is senseful to have one logfile for all sources, as
|

the sources can be backuped in parallel and you would not be able to
|

distinguish the different log processes very good then.
|

|

If you REALLY REALLY REALLY want to have all in one logfile, simply
|

link all "log" entries to the same file, output will be appended.
