Exports a backup directory for technical support. IMPORTANT: an export is not a backup of your database and cannot be used to restore data! Critical information has been stripped out for privacy.hb export -c backupdir The export command creates a tar file of a backup directory for HB technical support to use to solve customer problems. Advantages of export:
To see what is included in a HashBackup export, use tar -tf export.tar, or use tar -xf export.tar to expand the tar file as in this example: # create a new backup directory $ hb init -c hb HashBackup build #1502 Copyright 2009-2016 HashBackup, LLC Backup directory: /test/hb Permissions set for owner access only Created key file /test/hb/key.conf Key file set to read-only Setting include/exclude defaults: /test/hb/inex.conf VERY IMPORTANT: your backup is encrypted and can only be accessed with the encryption key, stored in the file: /test/hb/key.conf You MUST make copies of this file and store them in a secure location, separate from your computer and backup data. If your hard drive fails, you will need this key to restore your files. If you setup any remote destinations in dest.conf, that file should be copied too.
