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 or /etc/scduply/conf) and 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 in the configuration file).

Example:

<pre>

GPG_PW = 123456 

TARGET_URL = /tmp/sctest

</pre>
