1. Edit the template files
   Go into the data directory and change the template files.
   In the interface, the backup type list is dynamically contructed from the name (the suffix) of the template files present in this directory.
   Example: data.tpl.full will correspond to the full button.
   Consequently change or create the template files you want to use and delete others.
   The fields must be separated by TAB character.

• Read and Edit the file data.incr in the data directory.
• Add the following line in your crontab
  0 1 * * 2-6 /usr/local/pck/backup/UBT1.3/bin/ubtoolcron data.incr > /tmp/backup.log 2>&1
• or just type ubtoolcron data.incr
• The tape_name field indicates the suffix of the log file.

• Abort the backup process is not efficient.
• The mail report is only send by the cron backup.
• A documentation worthy of the name (Sorry for my rough english, but you can certainly help me ;-) )
• The lock file can caused some troubles. Just delete the file: data/.lock. This file is setted to prevent the incremental and a full backup to work simultaneously, but sometimes, depenting of the end of the full backup, this file is not deleted.
