#  The title gets shown to the user prior to asking for confirmation to 
#  proceed
title: LINUX BACKUP

#  The device to back up to; in this case SCSI tape drive
device: /dev/st0

#  The cycle in this case is full backup and then several backups that
#  backup everything that has changed since the full backup.
cycle: 0 1 1 1

#  Currently sizes are not properly supported, so we encode it into the
#  method; afio_st16 being a method that knows that 16Mb is the size of
#  the tape
method: afio_st16

#  A script to calculate the size of the backup
size: /usr/local/lib/pibu/linux.size

#  We're backing up to tape so let's check the tape is not write-protected
#  and rewound
options: tapechecks

#  Here's what we actually want to backup
