Overview
If no option of the type -<past-backup-no> is supplied (e.g. -2 ), the most recently made backup is accessed. If an option like this is given, the backup system tries to extract the errors from the backup before ( -1 ) or even an earlier one. This requires, that enough file- and directory-name-logging is provided. This can be done with the client-side configuration parameter NumIndexesToStore. A different configuration file can be supplied with the -c option.

-c -
Use the given file for configuration information

-I <idx-prefix> -

-
-N <num-idxes> -
The number of filename list files, that is stored over time. A new list is begun at each start of a full backup (except -a is supplied)
-
-V <var-dir> -
The directory, where varying files are put
- -z <zipcmd> <unzipcmd>

The commands to use for compress and uncompress. If a command comprises of several words, it must be put in quotes
