# You should choose the most geographically close region, in order to upload faster to S3:

AWS_REGION='us-east-1'

# The S3 bucket must NOT exist.
# The backup script creates and configures the S3 bucket.

AWS_BUCKET='example-backup-bucket'

# How long old file versions (like deleted or changed files) are kept as history in your S3 bucket.
# Note that current latest versions of your backed up files are kept forever.

AWS_RETENTION_DAYS=30

# The backup source. This local directory is recursively synced with your S3 bucket.
# Example: LOCAL_DIR='/home/user32/documents'

LOCAL_DIR='%LOCAL_DIR%'

# The lock file prevents the backup to run more than one instance simultaneously.

LOCAL_LOCK=~/.example-s3-backup.lock

# A path prefix to use when storing objects online in your S3 bucket.
# This lets you organize the root file structure of your S3 bucket better,
# as well as to prevent name collisions if you are backing up more than one PC in the same S3 bucket.
# Example: REMOTE_DIR_PREFIX='workstation1/linux/user32/documents'

REMOTE_DIR_PREFIX='%PREFIX_DIR%'

# A file path where a full list of your S3 bucket/REMOTE_DIR_PREFIX is made once the backup completes.
# Leave empty if you don't want to generate such a list.
# Unless you really need this, it's best to leave it empty,
# as listing may consume a lot of LIST paid S3 resources.

LOCAL_LIST=''

# The default behavior is not to follow symlinks. Set this to 'yes' if you prefer that
# symlinks should be followed (be careful of loops).
FOLLOW_SYMLINKS='no'

# Randomly generated encryption key.
# It must be exactly 32 characters long.
# You can generate a key using the following command:
#   pwgen -s 32 1
#
# Anyone who gets hold of this key can download your backed up files from your S3 bucket.
#
# You don't need to remember this key but you MUST securely upload it online by following
# the instructions in the README file. Failing to do this makes your online backup useless,
# as you won't be able to restore from it without a key.
