You should customise both the ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/sarab.dcf and
${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/sarab.conf configuration files to select the backup
location. Default is "/mnt/backup/".
You should customise ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/rotation.schedule based on your backup
requirements. Some example rotation files can be found under
${PREFIX}/share/examples/sarab.
SaraB backups are usually scheduled and executed by cron. SaraB must be run
as root, and is generally run with no parameters.
E.g.
crontab -u root -l
# Daily backups at 3:13 AM
3 13 * * * ${PREFIX}/bin/sarab
