h2. Prepare

If you are planning to save the configuration under /etc (it is available only when running as root), create folder /etc/scduply:

<pre>
mkdir /etc/scduply
</pre>

Otherwise the configuration will be automatically placed into ~/.scduply

<pre>
$ scduply init
</pre>

In the configuration folder open the file “conf” (~/.scduply/conf) and ~/.scduply/conf set the values:
*GPG_KEY* – set the ID of the GPG key, if you planning to use the key,
*GPG_PW* – set the password for the GPG key, or the password for symmetric encryption (don’t use weak passwords),
*TARGET_URL* – set the path (network or local) to the backup archive storage (the examples are values, following tips in the configuration file). comments:

Example:

<pre>
GPG_PW = 123456
TARGET_URL = /tmp/sctest
</pre>

$ echo /path/to/backup > ~/.scduply/JOB/source
</pre>

h3. Do backup
