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.
