NAME
----
ccollect - (pseudo) incremental backup with different exclude lists using hardlinks and rsync


SYNOPSIS
--------
'ccollect.sh' [args] <interval name> <sources to backup>


DESCRIPTION
-----------
`ccollect` is a backup utility written in the sh-scripting language.
It does not depend on a specific shell, only `/bin/sh` needs to be
bourne shell compatibel (like 'dash', 'ksh', 'zsh', 'bash', ...).

For more information refer to the manual titled
"ccollect - Installing, Configuring and Using" (available as text (asciidoc),
texinfo or html).

-e, --errors::
   Log only errors

-h, --help::

-j [max], --jobs [max]::
   Specifies the number of jobs to run simultaneously.
   If max is not specified then parallelise all jobs.

LOGGING MECHANISM
-----------------
ccollect logging depends on running in non-interactive/interactive mode
and on specified optins. The mechanism behaves as the following:

non-interactive mode::

    * standard output goes to syslog
    * optional: specify logging into file
    * log all output by default
    * optional: log only errors

interactive mode::

    * standard output goes to stdout
    * log only errors
    * optional: log into syslog or file
        - log all output by default
        - optional: log only errors
