+
+.TP
+.B logfile

+.TP
+.B usecolors

+
+.TP
+.B when
+When to process each configuration file. The value used here will
+be applied for each configuration file. It is possibile to override
+this "when" in each each configuration file, see also section 
+"Scheduling" in backup.d(5).
+
+For example:
+
+  when = sundays at 02:00
+  when = 30th at 22
+  when = 30 at 22:00
+  when = everyday at 01            <-- the default

+  when = TUESDAYS at 05
+
+These values for 'when' are invalid:
+  
+  when = tuesday at 2am
+  when = tuesday at 2
+  when = tues at 02
+
+.TP
+.B vservers
+If you are using Linux-Vservers (http://linux-vserver.org), there are some
