How does TKLBAM know what to backup on my system?
Every TurnKey appliance that TKLBAM supports has a corresponding backup profile, which is downloaded from the Hub the first time you backup an appliance. When required the profile can be updated on demand (e.g., if we need to fix the profile)
The profile is stored in /var/lib/tklbam/profile and contains the following text files:
- dirindex.conf: a list of directories to check for changes by default. This list does not include any files or directories maintained by the package management system.
- dirindex: appliance installation state - filesystem index
- packages: appliance installation state - list of packages
Users can override which files and directories are checked for changes by configuring overrides (See below).
