NAME¶

kdb-stash - Stash away KDB to be restored later

SYNOPSES¶

kdb stash

DESCRIPTION¶

This command will stash away the system, user and spec configuration, i.e. it releases all mountpoints and reset Elektra to a clean state. Afterwards a timestamp which can be used to restore everything will be printed.

The backup will be done in the /var/tmp directory, so make sure the backup is not deleted.
