| | If the setname is "tape", then output will be written to the device |

| | or file specified in the $TAPEDEV variable instead of a file in the |
|---|
| | backup directory. |

| | **CUSTOMIZING** |
|---|
| | **CUSTOMIZING tbku** |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | 'tbku' |
|---|
| | ``tbku`` is written to be "smart" enough to figure out where your |
|---|
| | system keeps needed tools like ``tar`` or ``sed``. The only |
|---|
| | requirement here is that ``tbku`` be run in an environment that can |
|---|
| | find the ``which`` command somewhere in its ``$PATH`` - ``tbku`` |
|---|
| | uses ``which`` to figure out just where everything it needs lives on |
|---|
| | your filesystem. If ``tbku`` cannot figure out where your system |
|---|
| | keeps things, it will use the FreeBSD default values. |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | For most FreeBSD and Linux users, this should work without any |
|---|
| | customization beyond setting environment variables to override |
|---|
| | default behavior (described below). In rare circumstances, you may |
|---|
| | need further customization. All the things you're likely to ever |
|---|
| | want to change appear first in the actual ``tbku`` script, and are |
|---|
| | briefly documented there. |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | **ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES & DEFAULTS** |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | You can override the various ``tbku`` defaults by setting a |
|---|
| | corresponding environment variable. |
