| border="0" | The "backups" directory (red folder) shown here is located in the same filesystem location as the Amahi hda structures. This is '''''not a recommended practice''''' as the backups directory could be on the same hard disk(s) as the hda directories, it is '''only intended as an example ''' for this article only. Normally the backups directory structure should be stored in a separate hard disk assembly (i.e. external drive) from the source hda structures.

The "daily.0" is created by the rsnapshot application to store "snapshot-like" backups. This particular directory name is typical of the doing a "daily" backup with rsnapshot. The directories "daily.x" and "daily.y" are just pseudo names where each value of x and y are normally numbers indicating later version numbers of rnsapshot backup sets. If rsnapshot daily backups are set for a 7 day retention the numbering would be 0 to 6, where daily.0 is the most recent backup set and 6 the latest set.
