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 source configurations from various sources including files, piped input, or rclone configurations.

By default, reads from stdin, allowing for piped input from other commands.

The -config option specifies a file or URL to read the configuration from.

The -overwrite option allows overwriting existing source configurations with the same names.

The -rclone option treats the input as an rclone configuration, useful for importing rclone remotes as Plakar sources.

Specific sections can be imported by listing their names.

Sections can be renamed during import by appending :newname.

For detailed examples and usage patterns, see the https://docs.plakar.io/en/guides/importing-configurations/ Importing Configurations guide.

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.
