# VBackup - A modular backup utility

The full documentation of vbackup can be found at:
http://vbackup.readthedocs.org/

# Overview

vbackup is an extensible CLI backup tool. Ultimately it is a collection of
scripts that perform backup of systems. It is based on bash and should support
most of the unices out there (if not then please report it as a bug).

From a user's point of view, vbackup simplifies the backup process by
requiring a config file for everything that otherwise would require a
custom made script.

Vbackup can backup:

  * Postgresql databases
  * MySQL databases
  * Filesystems using GNU tar
  * XFS filesystems using xfsdump
  * dpkg and RPM databases
  * MBR, Partition tables, MD and LVM information
  * OpenLDAP database

The backup procedure is completely customizable and extendable by the user.

vbackup supports multiple backup strategies and each one can supports
multiple levels. For example, one can have a backup strategy for filesystem
backups and another for VM backups or for testing

# Sample
After configuring vbackup, backups become as simple as:

```
# vbackup 0
```
