Configuration directory. Usually /etc/box.

Either lazy or snapshot.

account-num

The client account number. This is set by the bbstored administrator.

server-hostname

The hostname or IP address of the bbstored server.

working-dir

A directory to keep temporary state files. This is usually something like /var/bbackupd. This can be changed in bbackupd.conf later on if required.

A space-separated list of directories to be backed up. Note that this does not traverse mount points.
