→Format usb disk
=Format usb disk=
You need to format the disk for rsnapshot to be able to use hard links. An external drive mounted via '''"smbfs"''' , '''"FAT"''', '''"NTFS"''', or '''"cifs"''' does not allow "hard links". It is not possible to create "snapshot-like" backups on FAT or NTFS formatted volumes, nor SMB/CIFS as these filesystems do not support hard-linking.
:umount /media/yourdisklabel
THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON /dev/sdb1, MAKE SURE THIS IS YOUR USB DRIVE AND NOT ANOTHER DRIVE
'''Please Note: ''' You can format the usb disk for the ext4 filesystem.
=Install rsnapshot=
