Usage

Usage: qbtbar <mode> <directory>

<mode>:

-b Create a backup.

-r Restore a backup.

<directory> For backup mode, this specifies the parent directory to generate the backup into (the backup directory name itself is auto-generated). For restore mode this specifies a backup directory previously generated by backup mode.

---

Execute ./program <mode> <directory found in the portable release using a Terminal application. Alternatively if you have install the .deb package file qbtbar will be available as a global user command to the system, so just qbtbar <mode> <directory works fine.

Notes:

• If you use external drives to store any torrents, please make sure they have the same mount point as when the backup was originally taken.
• It is always best practice to make sure any external drives containing torrents are mounted in the OS before starting qBittorrent.
