Performing a backup using the command line option cba
The cba command uses the configuration file backup.cfg located in /cas/db/text. This file
contains the flat files to be backed up. You can edit this file to add or delete files to be backed up.
You must precede each file or directory name with a package name followed by a colon and a space
(or tab). This causes the specified files to be backed up only when the associated package is backed
up. The syntax of the contents of the backup.cfg file is:
package name
base:
base:
base:
directory or file to back up
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
