BoxBackup Sever Configuration (bbstored)
Sections
Main Server Config
There is one bbstored section which is used to build the bbstored.conf used by the initscript.
Sanitized from a working example:
config 'bbstored'
option 'accountdb' '/opt/etc/bbstored/accounts.txt'
option 'extlog' '1'
option 'user' 'bbstored'
option 'group' 'bbstored'
option 'address' '192.168.1.1'
option 'certfile' '/etc/bbstored/hostname-boxbackup.example.com-cert.pem'
option 'keyfile' '/etc/bbstored/hostname-boxbackup.example.com-key.pem'
option 'cafile' '/etc/bbstored/example.com-CA.pem' |
The bbstored section contains these settings:
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
config_path |
string | no | /var/etc/boxbackup |
Where to stash the temporary config file (which is what is actually used by the daemon). |
raidfileconf |
string | no | /var/etc/boxbackup/raidfile.conf |
The file to use for defining the actual storage (which boxbackup calls raidfile for historical reasons) |
accountdb |
string | no | /etc/bbstored/accounts.txt |
The accounts 'database'. Managed by bbstoreaccounts and required by bbstored, but must be present (but can be empty) before you can run bbstoreaccounts to create an account store. Must be persistent across boots. |

Storage Config
There can be multiple raidfile sections each of which must have a unique setnum, and which are used to define a backup store to be used by accounts. (bbstoreaccounts is used to create an account associate with a backup store).
Sanitized from a working example:
config 'raidfile'
option 'setnum' '0'
option 'blocksize' '1024'
option 'path' '/srv/backups' |
The raidfile sections contain these settings:
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
setnum |
integer | yes | (none) | The integer number associated with the backup store. Must not change. |
blocksize |
integer | no | 1024 |
Blocksize to use for storing data in the store. Defaults to fs blocksize |
path |
string | yes | (none) | Path to the backup store. Must be read-write for the bbstored user. |
