of monitoring the files/directories marked for backups for any changes

* backupmethod (Required parameter) : LOCAL | NFS | RSYNC
(Default : LOCAL)
- This parameter describes the backup method to be used for
performing the actual data backup. Possible options are LOCAL, NFS or
RSYNC. If LOCAL is specified, the data is backed up to a local
directory specified in "method" section (described below) of the
config.yaml. If NFS is specified, data is backed up to a locally
mounted NFS exported mount. If RSYNC is specified, then the data is
transferred to a remote server using rsync (over ssh). You can select
only one type of "backupmethod" at any time. When "RSYNC" is chosen as
the "backupmethod", the remote server should have same or higher
version of ssh/rsync.

The RSYNC backup method section
--------------------------------
- This is the third type of backup method supported by openduckbill.
Openduckbill reads in parameters and their values from this section, if
the global parameter "backupmethod" is defined as "RSYNC". In this
case, duckbill uses the rsync command on the local machine to transfer
backup data to remote server. The remote server should have ssh
enabled. Openduckbill is designed to use rsync over ssh. Thus
openduckbill ensures that data transfer across boxes are encrypted
using "ssh", and also uses the powerful rsync for effectively copying
data. Most useful, when you can't reach a remote server through NFS.
