1) Introduction:
SysBK is a modular and portable backup utility geared towards Ensim WP and
Cpanel web servers. All modules are configurable and easily enabled/disabled,
thus allowing for a customizable backup operation. Currently sysbk supports the
backup of Apache, Mysql, DNS, Cpanel & Ensim.

.: Summary of features: 
- all backup operations have a companion .md5 file with md5sum of the 
original files, to ensure data integrity
- capable of using a secondary archiving utility such as bzip2
- easy configuration of backup path and mount points
- configurable load-level threshold for performing backup operations 
- priority queing of backup operations to reduce run-time load level 
- top level backup of apache path
- multi-stage Bind DNS backup
- multi-stage MySQL backup with MYI/ISM check, mysqldump of all databases to 
individual .sql files, and master backup of mysql db path 
- ensim3 & 4 virtual host backup with custom pickle.py dictionary file 
- cpanel 6 compliant backup, all essential config files with addition of
quick /home*/user archiving, and resume after interruption feature
- remote transfer of backup data via FTP or SCP (SSH)
- incremented transfer mode to conserve disk space during backups
- and much more... 

2) Installation:
Simple operations, run the provided install.sh script:

# chmod 750 install.sh
# ./install.sh

Then modify the '/usr/local/sysbk/conf.sysbk' file, the file is well documented
(for the most part). More detailed documentation is forth-coming...

3) Usage:
The executable script is located at '/usr/local/sbin/sysbk', and their is two
command arguments:
SysBK 1.2 [sysbk@r-fx.org]
usage /usr/local/sbin/sysbk [-s] [-q]

-s   Standard run
-q   Quiet run

Thats it; everything else is configurable via conf.sysbk.
