'''Introduction'''

The following script was written to provide a quick way to run a backup of the Request Tracker application installation. This is a good tool to use if you're hacking at templates and objects to ensure that you have a known good restore point.

'''Requirements'''

<nowiki> I wrote this for Debain Sarge/Stable and it depends on having the exim4 mailer installed. I also requires that there is a ''tmp'' dir in ''/root''. You can of course change this to whatever directory that you wish. I'll be refining this script as time permits. </nowiki>

'''Caveat Emptor'''

This script is provided with no warranties expressed or implied. Use your own risk. Milage may vary.

'''TODO'''

* Add section to detect mailer and automatically set this envvar
* Add automatic tmpfile cleanup
