Tbackup comes with five preconfigured command line arguments. These are useful for reducing the number of questions tbackup asks before beginning the backup. They cause tbackup to set various parameters to `standard' values without asking.
The arguments are are 0d
, 0h
, 1d
, 1h
and
tape
. You can invoke the argument 0d
by typing either
tbackup -0d
or tbackup 0d
.
The arguments have the following meaning:
0d
: write to drive 0, use the d
(double) density0h
: write to drive 0, use the h
(high) density1d
: write to drive 1, use the d
(double) density1h
: write to drive 1, use the h
(high) densitytape
: write to the tape drive configured in /etc/tbackup/Config
In addition to setting drive and density, the four floppy-related arguments cause tbackup to use the following settings for various parameters without asking:
tbackup 1h
and will only be asked for the directory set name and backup level.
In addition to selecting the tape drive, the tape argument will cause tbackup to use the following settings for various parameters without asking:
You can change the settings made by these arguments by editing the
*.arg
files in /etc/tbackup
. See the
customization section for more information.
