-Paranoid Mode
-=============
-
-What is paranoid mode?
-======================
-
-Paranoid mode creates a backup of a local configuration file before
-Bcfg2 replaces the file. This allows for easier recovery by the local
-administrator.
-
-How do I use it?
-================
-
-#. In the Bcfg2 repository, put `paranoid='true'` in the ``info.xml``
- file.
-#. On the client, create ``/var/cache/bcfg2`` (or specify an alternate
- path in the [paranoid] section of /etc/bcfg2).
-#. On the client, run `bcfg2` with the `-P` option (alternatively, you
- can set *paranoid* to *true* in the **[client]** section of
- ``bcfg2.conf``).
-
-This will save a copy of the replaced file in ``/var/cache/bcfg2``,
-but it'll be named as the path to the file with /'s replaced
-by _'s. For example, the old ``/etc/hosts`` will be named
-``/var/cache/bcfg2/etc_hosts``.
-
-Extra configuration
-===================
-
-Here is an example of how to use the extra paranoid features available
-in 1.0. For the following section in bcfg2.conf::
-
- [paranoid]
- path = /my/custom/backup/path
- max_copies = 5
-
-You will have the file backups store in ``/my/custom/backup/path``. This
-will also keep the five most recent backups of files.
