NAME

plakar-source — Manage Plakar backup source configuration

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The plakar source command manages the configuration of data sources for Plakar to backup.

The configuration consists in a set of named entries, each of them describing a source for a backup operation.

A source is defined by at least a location, specifying the importer to use, and some importer-specific parameters.

The subcommands are as follows:

add name location [option=value ...]

Create a new source entry identified by name with the specified location describing the importer to use. Additional importer options can be set by adding option=value parameters.

check name

Check wether the importer for the source identified by name is properly configured.

import [-config location] [-overwrite] [-rclone] [sections ...]

Import a configuration from either stdin (default), a file, or a URL.

If location is specified, the input will be read from that file or URL.

If -overwrite is specified, existing sections will be overwritten by new ones.

If -rclone is specified, the input will be treated as an rclone configuration.

If sections are specified, only those sections will be imported. A section can be renamed on import by appending a colon and the new name.

ping name

Try to open the data source identified by name to make sure it is reachable.

rm name

Remove the source identified by name from the configuration.

set name [option=value ...]

Set the option to value for the source identified by name. Multiple option/value pairs can be specified.

show [-secrets] [name ...]

Display the current sources configuration. If -secrets is specified, sensitive information such as passwords or tokens will be shown.

unset name [option ...]

Remove the option for the source entry identified by name.

EXIT STATUS

The plakar-source utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
