Overview

Cedar Backup comes with two command-line programs, the cback and cback-span commands. The cback command is the primary command line interface and the only Cedar Backup program that most users will ever need.

Users that have a lot of data to back up — more than will fit on a single CD or DVD — can use the interactive cback-span tool to split their data between multiple discs.
