+==== Quick start example for Affa 2 ====
+You have a SME 7 production server with hostname 'prodbox‘ and IP 10.200.48.1.<br>
+Set up a second SME 7 box as your backupserver with hostname 'affabox‘ and IP 10.200.48.2.
+
+<ol></li><li>log into the 'affabox' and install the packages as described above.
+</li><li>copy the config helper script sample
+ cp /usr/lib/affa/jobconfig-sample.pl /root/prodbox-job.pl
+</li><li>edit /root/prodbox-job.pl and set
+ my $jobname='prodbox';
+and
+ 'remoteHostName‘=>'10.200.48.1',
+optionally, if the remote server port is configured to e.g. 2222 then set
+ 'sshPort'=>2222,
+</li><li>save and run the 'prodbox-job.pl' file. This will write the configuration (this makes the database entries and sets up the cronjobs)
+ /root/prodbox-job.pl
+</li><li>generate the DSA keys and send the public key to the 'prodbox'
+{{Note box|When initially doing this step, you will need to temporarily enable "Allow secure shell access using standard passwords" on the production server}}
+ affa --send-key prodbox
+</li><li>run the job manually
+
+ affa --run prodbox
+</li></ol>
+
+==== Configuration ====
+The configuration is stored in an e-smith style database. Use the db command to configure Affa.
+The jobname is the record key with the type 'job'.<br>To setup a new job with the name 'prodbox' enter:
+
+ db affa set prodbox job
+
+then set the properties
+
+ db affa setprop prodbox remoteHostName 192.168.1.1
+ db affa setprop prodbox TimeSchedule '0030,0730,1130,1330,1730,2030'
+ db affa setprop prodbox Description 'My Production Server'
+ db affa setprop prodbox status enabled
+and so on...
+
+Alternatively you can you use a script as described above in the 'Quick start' chapter.
+
+To verify your work, type:
+
+ db affa show prodbox
+
+Finally set up the cronjobs:
+ affa --make-cronjobs
+
