+# ribs.conf.sample
+# Configuration file for Rod's Incremental Backup System
+#
+# A configuration file should be created in either the system
+# config directory (/etc/ribs/conf-available) or the user's
+# config directory (~/.ribs/conf-available). The filename must
+# have the .conf suffix. Use the ribs command to enable or disable
+# the config file with the -e|--enable or -d|--disable options.
+# Run ribs -h for help.
+
+[General]
+# General Options
+#
+#   At least source_dir, backup_root, day_limit, and storage_type 
+#   are required.
+# 
+# Source directory - The directory where files to be backed up are
+#   located. This must be an absolute, not a relative path. If the 
+#   trailing slash is included, the contents of the directory will be
+#   backed up. If not, the directory itself will be backed up.
+#   NOTE: Special characters must be escaped with backslashes!
+#
+source_dir=/var/www/
+#
+# Backup root directory - The directory on the backup storage where the
+#   backups are stored. For offline storage, this is the mount point of 
+#   the backup drive filesystem. For remote storage, this is the path on
+#   the remote server. Must be writable to user running ribs. This must
+#   be an absolute, not a relative path. Directories named as the date
+#   of the backups will be created here containing the backed up files.
+#   NOTE: Special characters must be escaped with backslashes!
+#
+backup_root=/mnt/incremental_backup_dir
+#
+# Backup subdirectory - A subdirectory of backup_root in which to store 
+#   the backup date directories. If this is not set, the date 
+#   directories will be created directly in backup_root.
+#   NOTE: Special characters must be escaped with backslashes!
+#
+#backup_subdir=/main
+#
+# Exclude list - List of file patterns to exclude, separated by
+#   commas. Anything in the source directory that matches a pattern in
+#   this list will not be backed up. If you don't want to exclude
+#   anything from the backup, comment this option out with a '#'.
+#   NOTE: Special characters must be escaped with backslashes unless
+#   they represent a wildcard in a pattern!
+#
+#exclude_list=DatabaseBackups-*, somehugedir, secretstuff
+#
+# Day limit - The number of days of backups to keep. When the backup is
+#   complete, directories with dates older than this limit will be
+#   deleted.
+#
+day_limit=90
+#
+# Storage type - Where the backups are to be stored. Only one of the
+#   three options should be specified. Set the option you want, then 
+#   refer to the appropriate section below for that specific
+#   configuration. Possible values are:
+#   local - Back up to a local directory. Can also be anything already
+#       mounted on the local filesystem.
+#   offline - Back up to offline storage that must be mounted. Can be
+#       anything that you can mount and unmount, including a filesystem
+#       on a local block device or a remote NFS or CIFS/SMB share.
+#   remote - Back up to a remote system directly via rsync. If you use
+#       this, you must define remote_user_host below and setup pubkey 
+#       authentication vi ssh for the remote user and host.
+#
+storage_type=remote
+#
+
+
+[local]
+# Options for local storage type
+#
+# There are currently no specific settings for the local storage type.
+#
+
+
+[offline]
+# Options for offline storage type
+#
+# Options in this section are required if storage_type above is set
+# to offline. Otherwise, they are ignored. 
+#
+# Mount parameters - Storage filesystem mount parameters. Should be what
+#   you'd type on the command line between the word "mount" and the 
+#   mountpoint. See the manual page for the mount command (man 8 mount)
+#   for the available options.

+#mount_parameters="/dev/sdc1"
+#
+# Remount read-only - Set this to True if storage should be remounted in
+#   read-only mode when not being used for backups, False if not.
+#
+remount_ro=True
+#
+
+[remote]
+# Options for remote storage type
+#
+# Options in this section are required if storage_type above is set
+# to remote. Otherwise, they are ignored. 
+#
+# Remote user and host - The user and host to connect to for backup
+#   storage. If you want RIBS to be able to run unattended, for example
+#   as a cron job,  you will need to ensure that the user's ssh public
+#   key is listed in the remote host's authorized_keys file. This is 
+#   usually done with the ssh-copy-id command, which also takes care of
+#   adding the host's key fingerprint to the local known_hosts file.
