Description: DAVBACKUP
        =========
        
        Downloads an entire tree from a DAV server. This can be used to make backups from an owncloud/nextcloud server.
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        The following output of the ``--help`` option shows the usage::
        
            $ python3 davbackup.py --help
            usage: davbackup.py [-h] [--config FILE] [--destdir DIR] [--start RMT_DIR]
        
            Download content from DAV server.
        
            optional arguments:
              -h, --help            show this help message and exit
              --config FILE, -c FILE
                                    Specify a config file other than the default.
              --destdir DIR, -d DIR
                                    Specify destination directory.
              --start RMT_DIR, -s RMT_DIR
                                    Download only the specified subtree.
        
        Configuration file
        ------------------
        
        A sample configuration file is provided with the name ``davbackup.json.sample``. Rename and edit to suit your needs.
        
        The configuration is a json file whose fields are self explanatory, except perhaps the ``nbackups`` field, explained below. Note that the password is base64 encoded. This makes it obscure, not secure, but the program is meant to be run on a trusted machine::
        
            {
                "protocol": "https",
                "server": "nextcloud.samplesite.com",
                "username": "fred",
                "password": "YWJyYWNhZGFicmE=",
                "davstart": "/remote.php/dav/files/fred",
                "nbackups": 4
            }
        
        
        The field ``nbackups`` is the number of backups copy to keep. When the local directory exists already, it is presumed to contain a previous backup, and it is renamed with an extension .001, if a directory with a .001 extension exists, it is renamed to .002 and so on until the specified number of backups is reached. Directories that would have a higher number than the number of backups are simply deleted.
        
        Installing
        ----------
        
        Use the provided setup.py utility to install::
        
            $ python3 setup.py install
        
        Or simply use `pip` to install from the the Pypi site::
        
            $ pip install davbackup
        
        
        Running
        -------
        
        Once you have a valid configuration file as described above, just run::
        
            $ davbackup --config <configfile> --destdir <localdir>
        
        
        You can use the arguments described above.
