DESCRIPTION

   Back In Time is a simple  backup  tool  for  Linux.  This  is  the  Qt4
   version.   For  more  information about Back In Time see backintime man
   page.

   If you want to run it as root you need to use 'pkexec backintime-qt4'.

OPTIONS

   --checksum
          Force to use checksum for checking if files have  been  changed.
          This is the same as 'Use checksum to detect changes' in Options.
          But  you  can  use  this  to  periodically  run  checksums  from
          cronjobs. Only valid with backup, backup-job and restore.

   --config PATH
          Read config from PATH.

   --debug
          Show debug messages.

   --delete
          Restore  and  delete  newer files which are not in the snapshot.
          WARNING: deleting files in  filesystem  root  could  break  your
          whole system!!!  Only valid with restore.

   -h, --help
          Display a short help

   --keep-mount
          Don't   unmount   on   exit.  Only  valid  with  snapshots-path,
          snapshots-list-path and last-snapshot-path.

   --license
          Show license

   --local-backup
          Create backup files before changing  local  files.   Only  valid
          with restore.

   --no-crontab
          Do not install crontab entries.  Only valid with check-config.

   --no-local-backup
          Temporary disable creation of backup files before changing local
          files.  Only valid with restore.

   --profile NAME
          Select profile by name

   --profile-id ID
          Select profile by id

   --quiet
          Suppress status messages on standard output.

   -v, --version

COMMANDS

   backup | -b | --backup
          Take a snapshot now (if needed)

   backup-job | --backup-job
          Take a snapshot (if needed) depending on  schedule  rules  (used
          for cron jobs).  Back In Time will run in background for this.

   benchmark-cipher | --benchmark-cipher [FILE-SIZE]
          Show a benchmark of all ciphers for ssh transfer.

   check-config
          Verify  the  profile in config, create snapshot path and crontab
          entries.

   decode | --decode [PATH]
          Decode encrypted PATH. If no PATH is given  Back  In  Time  will
          read paths from standard input.

   last-snapshot | --last-snapshot
          Display last snapshot ID (if any)

   last-snapshot-path | --last-snapshot-path
          Display the path to the last snapshot (if any)

   pw-cache | --pw-cache [start|stop|restart|reload|status]
          Control  the  Password Cache Daemon. If no argument is given the
          Password Cache will start in foreground.

   remove[-and-do-not-ask-again]     |     --remove[-and-do-not-ask-again]
   [SNAPSHOT_ID]
          Remove  the  snapshot.  If  SNAPSHOT_ID  is  missing  it will be
          prompted. SNAPSHOT_ID can be an index (starting with 0  for  the
          last  snapshot)  or  the  exact  SnapshotID  (19  caracters like
          '20130606-230501-984').  remove-and-do-not-ask-again will remove
          the snapshot immediately.  Be careful with this!

   restore | --restore [WHAT [WHERE [SNAPSHOT_ID]]]
          Restore  file  WHAT  to path WHERE from snapshot SNAPSHOT_ID. If
          arguments are missing they will be prompted. To restore  to  the
          original  path  WHERE  can  be  an empty string '' or just press
          Enter at the prompt. SNAPSHOT_ID can be an index (starting  with
          0  for  the last snapshot) or the exact SnapshotID (19 caracters
          like '20130606-230501-984')

   snapshots-list | --snapshots-list
          Display the list of snapshot IDs (if any)

   snapshots-list-path | --snapshots-list-path
          Display the paths to snapshots (if any)

   snapshots-path | --snapshots-path
          Display path where is saves the snapshots (if configured)

   unmount | --unmount
          Unmount the profile.
