## NAME

timesheet-load - load onShore TimeSheet data from disk into database

## SYNOPSIS

```
 B<timesheet-load> [ -d I<directory> ] [ -v ]

## DESCRIPTION

**timesheet-load** extracts data from the onShore TimeSheet database instance and dumps it onto disk.  This is primarily useful for backing up data.  The program can be run on a nightly basis.

The data is dumped onto disk using one file per table.

## OPTIONS

- **-d** *directory*

  Specify the directory where the dumped tables may be found.  By default, the `"BACKUPDIR"` setting from the global configuration file is used.

## CONFIGURATION FILES

**timesheet-load** reads options from *'../etc/timesheet.conf'*. Options read include the PostgreSQL connect string, table names, default backup directory, etc.

## BUGS

Should also have options to delete \* from table or drop the tables.
