.SH NAME
backup-manager - An easy to use backup tool for your Linux box.
.SH SYNOPSIS
backup-manager [options]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Backup Manager is an easy-to-use tool for generating archives.
.P
It is designed with simplicity in mind
for those who don't want an obfuscated tool for making tarballs.
.P
There are different methods for building archives: tarballs, incremental
tarballs, mysql dumps, svn dump. You can also write your own method with a
generic method that will execute a command and will archive its output.
.P
Every times you run Backup Manager, you can upload archives thanks to a couple
of upload methods: through FTP, SSH or even with RSYNC.

It's also possible to export your archives to removable media like CDR or DVD.

different configuration files at the same time.
