# Chapter 4. Command Line Tools

## Overview

Cedar Backup comes with three command-line programs: cback3, cback3-amazons3-sync, and cback3-span.

The cback3 command is the primary command line interface and the only Cedar Backup program that most users will ever need.

The cback3-amazons3-sync tool is used for synchronizing entire directories of files up to an Amazon S3 cloud storage bucket, outside of the normal Cedar Backup process.

Users who have a lot of data to back up — more than will fit on a single CD or DVD — can use the interactive cback3-span tool to split their data between multiple discs.
