# Configuration: Replace <hostname>, <username>, and <password> as appropriate.
endpoint='https://<hostname>/cgi-bin/kerbynet'
username=<username>
# I know, storing a password like this sucks. Blame Zeroshell for a lack of
# better alternatives. Remember to quote the string if necessary.
password=<password>
# These values come from the ZeroShell GUI. The device is the value in the
# parenthesis on the "Disk Model" line, eg: if it says "(sda)" then
# device=_dev_sda
# For partition, this is the value in the left column. For example if it says
# "sda1" then partition=_dev_sda1
# Finally, db is the name under the "Profile" heading, eg. _DB.001
device=_dev_sda
partition=_dev_sda1
db=_DB.001
# To exclude logs from the backup, exclude_logs=Yes
# To include logs in the backup, exclude_logs=
exclude_logs=
# Directory to download the backup to. By default $(dirname $0) is the same
# directory as this script is located.
cd $(dirname $0)
