Filesystem config filesΒΆ

The information about filesystems that we want backed-up is gathered in JSON files, one per filesystem. For instance:

{
  "connstr": "mongodb://myuser:mypwd@ds21135.mlab.com:34562/fsbackup_tvs761_main",
  "paths": [
    "\\\\ZEYCUS-TVS671\\Multimedia",
    "\\\\ZEYCUS-TVS671\\Resources"
  ],
  "reportpref": "F:\\Dropbox\\fsbackup\\reports\\main_"
}

The information is as follows:

connstr
The connection string to the mongoDB database.
paths
The list of paths in the filesystem that we want backed-up. So far I’ve been using absolute paths myself, but I think that paths relative to the location of the config file work as well. But I have not tested it that heavily.
reportpref
Prefix for reports. All files created by the backupStatus command are created with that prefix.
