NAME
storeBackupSetupIsolatedMode.pl - copy last storeBackup meta data of a series to eg. a stick

DESCRIPTION
copies the meta data of a backup to another filesystem (eg. a memory stick); optinoally generates a customised version of the storeBackup configuration file This can be used to generate incremental backup eg. during travel. These can be integrated into the full backup via storeBackupMergeIsolatedBackup.pl and storeBackupUpdateBackup.pl

SYNOPSIS
based on configuration file:

    storeBackupSetupIsolatedMode.pl -f configFile -t targetDir
                                [-S series] [-g newConfigFile]
                                [-e explicitBackup] [-v] [-F]

no configuration file:

    storeBackupSetupIsolatedMode.pl -b backupDir -t targetDir
                                [-S series] [-e explicitBackup] [-v] [-F]

OPTIONS

--configFile, -f
        (original, non-isolated mode) configuration file to copy for
        isolated mode also used to get value for backupDir and series.
        You can also use an already generated configuration file to
        repeat the set up with the same configuration as in the past.

--targetDir, -t
        directory where to write the new configuration file for

--generate, -g
        (path and) file name of the configuration file to generate.

        If more than one series exists in this backup,
        you have to specify option series also

--series, -S
        series of which meta data have to be copied to targetDir.
