+.SH "NAME"
+autopostgresqlbackup \-\- Automated tool to make periodic backups of databases
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+\fBautopostgresqlbackup [OPTIONS]\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+AutoPostgreSQLBackup is a shell script (usually executed from a cron job or a systemd timer) designed to provide a fully automated tool to make periodic backups of databases\.
+.P
+AutoPostgreSQLBackup extract databases into flat files (compressed or not, encrypted or not) in a daily and/or weekly and/or monthly basis\.
+.P
+AutoPostgreSQLBackup supports mutliple databases engines (PostgreSQL and MySQL by now)\.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+\fB\-h\fR displays command line help
+.P
+\fB\-d\fR Run in debug mode (no mail sent)
+.P
+\fB\-c\fR Configuration file or directory (default: \fB/etc/default/autopostgresqlbackup\fR)
+.P
+When a directory is used, the \fB*\.conf\fR files will be processed sequentially\. It allows one to backup multiple databases servers with distinct settings :
+.IP "\[ci]" 4
+database servers with distinct engines
+.IP "\[ci]" 4
+PostgreSQL cluster with instances running on multiple ports
+.IP "" 0
+.SH "ENCRYPTION"
+Encryption (asymmetric) is now done with GnuPG, you just need to add the public key (armored or not) you want to encrypt the data to in the file pointed by the \fBENCRYPTION_PUBLIC_KEY\fR configuration setting\.
+.P
+Export your public key:
+.P
+\fBgpg \-\-export 0xY0URK3Y1D \-\-output mypubkey\.gpg\fR
+.P
+or
+.P
+\fBgpg \-\-export \-\-armor 0xY0URK3Y1D \-\-output mypubkey\.asc\fR
+.P
+then copy mypubkey\.asc or mypubkey\.gpg to the path pointed by the \fBENCRYPTION_PUBLIC_KEY\fR configuration setting and set the \fBENCRYPTION\fR setting to yes\.
+.SH "DECRYPTION"
+In order to decrypt a previously encrypted database dump:
+.P
+\fBgpg \-\-decrypt \-\-output backup\.sql\.gz backup\.sql\.gz\.enc\fR
+.SH "OPENSSL ENCRYPTION"
+Starting from version 2\.0 encryption with OpenSSL is no longer supported as it was discovered[1] (but also known for quite some time[2]) that encrypting large files with OpenSSL silently fail[3] and that decrypting these files is close to be impossible[4]\.
