Template: slbackup/enable
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Configure the backup system now?
Select this if you want to configure the backup system now.
.
If you choose to do so, you will get the opportunity to configure one
client and the backup server, and a cron job will be configured to start
the backup session once a day, on a moment of time of your choice.
.
To configure more than one backup client, you could either use the
Webmin-module provided by the webmin-slbackup package, or you can do this
manually in the file /etc/slbackup/slbackup.conf.
.
If you choose to not configure slbackup now, an example configuration file
will be installed, but cron will not be configured to start any backup
sessions. To activate backup, you can reconfigure the system by running
'dpkg-reconfigure slbackup' (as root) or manually by editing the
/etc/slbackup/slbackup.conf and /etc/cron.d/slbackup files.

provide a passwordless connection between the user running the backup
software on this computer (probably root) and the user running the backup
software on the client).

Type: string

_Description: Time life of backups (in days):
slbackup is doing a kind of maintenance before each backup session, where
backups that are older than a certain number of days will be deleted. In
this dialog you can specify the number of days that you want to keep the
backups for this client on the backup server. The default is 185 days
(approximately six months).

If you want to keep the backups for this client forever, or want to do the
maintenance yourself, 0 days will be treated as infinite.
