- Overview
- --------
- atticmatic is a simple Python wrapper script for the Attic backup software
- that initiates a backup and prunes any old backups according to a retention
- policy. The script supports specifying your settings in a declarative
- configuration file rather than having to put them all on the command-line, and
- handles common errors.

- Setup
- -----
- To get up and running with Attic, follow the Attic Quick Start guide at
- https://attic-backup.org/quickstart.html to create an Attic repository on a

- key-based ssh access to the desired user account on the remote host.
- To install atticmatic, run the following from the directory containing this
- README:
- python setup.py install
- Then copy the following configuration files:
- sudo cp sample/atticmatic.cron /etc/init.d/atticmatic
- sudo cp sample/config sample/excludes /etc/atticmatic/
- Lastly, modify those files with your desired configuration.

- arguments:
