WARNING
  !!! USAGE IN PARALLEL WITH storeBackup.pl CAN DESTROY YOUR BACKUPS !!!

OPTIONS

--interactive, -i
        interactive mode for reparing / deleting currupted
        backups created with option '--lateLinks'

--backupDir, -b
        top level directory of all backups (must exist)

--autorepair, -a
        repair simple inconsistencies automatically without
        requesting the action

--print
        print configuration read from configuration file and stop

--verbose, -v
        verbose messages

--debug, -d
        generate detailed information about the files
        with the linking information in it

--lockFile, -L
        lock file, if exist, new instances will finish if
        an old is already running
        If set to the same file as in storeBackup it will
        prevent $prog from running in parallel
        to storeBackup, default is $lockFile
        this type of lock files does not work across multiple servers
        and is not designed to separate storeBackup.pl and
        storeBackupUpdateBackup.pl or any other storeBackup
        process in a separate PID space
        Default lock file for root is in /var/lock, for others in \$HOME

--noCompress
        maximal number of parallel compress operations,
        default = chosen automatically

--checkOnly -c
        do not perform any action, only check consistency

--copyBackupOnly
        only do task to replicate incremental (lateLinks)
        backup; no hard linking, compression, etc.

--dontCopyBackup
        do not do any replication task to copy
        incremental (lateLink) backups
        NOTE: if used on the master cache, this option disrupts the data
        flow for replication!

--archiveDurationDeltaCache -A
        Duration after which already in backupCopy copied and linked
        backups will be deleted. This affects all series in
        deltacaches processedBackups directory.
        The duration has to be specified in format 'dhms', eg.
        10d4h means 10 days and 4 hours, default is 99d
        (similar to option keepAll in storeBackupDel.pl)

--dontDelInDeltaCache do not delete any backup in deltaCache
--createNewSeries -C
        Automatically create new series in deltaCache and the
        replication directory / directories. This is especially useful
        if you use wildcards to specify series name which should be
        added 'on the fly'

--progressReport
        print progress report:

    after each 'number' files when compressing
    after each 'number * 1000' files when linking
    after each 'number * 10000' files when performing chmod
--noWarningDiffSeriesInBackupCopy, -N
        do not write a warning if there is a different set of series
        inside the backup copy (replication directory) than in the
        actual deltaCache

--maxHardLinks
        maximum number of hard links to use
        zero (default) means limit depends on file system used only

--logFile, -l
        logFile, Default: stdout

--plusLogStdout
        if you specify a log file with --logFile you can
        additionally print the output to STDOUT with this flag

--suppressTime
        suppress output of time in logfile

--maxFilelen, -m
        maximal length of log file, default = 1e6

--noOfOldFiles, -n
        number of old log files, default = 5

--saveLogs
        save log files with date and time instead of deleting the
        old (with [-noOfOldFiles])

--compressWith
        compress saved log files (e.g. with 'gzip -9').
        default is 'bzip2'

--genBackupBaseTreeConf
        generate a template of the backup-copy configuration file
        for the backup directories (both source and target)

--genDeltaCacheConf
        generate a template of the backup-copy configuration file
        for the deltaCache directory
