Maybe I'm blind but I cannot find this syntax in the docu.
I want to do a full backup by cronjob.
BackupPC_dump is what you're looking for. It's in BackupPC's program
directory.
# BackupPC_dump: Dump a single client.
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# Usage: BackupPC_dump [-i] [-f] [-d] [-e] [-v] <client>
#
# Flags:
#
# -i Do an incremental dump, overriding any scheduling (but a full
# dump will be done if no dumps have yet succeeded)
#
# -f Do a full dump, overriding any scheduling.
#
# -d Host is a DHCP pool address, and the client argument
# just an IP address. We lookup the NetBios name from
# the IP address.
#
# -e Just do an dump expiry check for the client. Don't do anything
# else. This is used periodically by BackupPC to make sure that
# dhcp hosts have correctly expired old backups. Without this,
# dhcp hosts that are no longer on the network will not expire
# old backups.
#
# -v verbose. for manual usage: prints failure reasons in more
detail.
#
# BackupPC_dump is run periodically by BackupPC to backup $client.
# The file $TopDir/pc/$client/backups is read to decide whether a
# full or incremental backup needs to be run. If no backup is
# scheduled, or a ping to $client fails, then BackupPC_dump quits.
#
# The backup is done using the selected XferMethod (smb, tar, rsync etc),
# extracting the dump into $TopDir/pc/$client/new. The xfer output is
# put into $TopDir/pc/$client/XferLOG.
#
# If the dump succeeds (based on parsing the output of the XferMethod):
# - $TopDir/pc/$client/new is renamed to $TopDir/pc/$client/nnn, where
# nnn is the next sequential dump number.
# - $TopDir/pc/$client/XferLOG is renamed to
$TopDir/pc/$client/XferLOG.nnn.
# - $TopDir/pc/$client/backups is updated.
#
# If the dump fails:
# - $TopDir/pc/$client/new is moved to $TopDir/trash for later removal.
# - $TopDir/pc/$client/XferLOG is renamed to
$TopDir/pc/$client/XferLOG.bad
# for later viewing.
#
# BackupPC_dump communicates to BackupPC via printing to STDOUT.
