* Find the "no_create_root" section and remove the "#". This will allow rsnapshot to create the "snapshot root" directory.<blockquote>

:* Find the "BACKUP INTERVALS" section and change the line items. What does this all mean? The "#" character at the beginning of each line means the configuration line item will not be enabled. Remove the "#" character as required. For example, when enabled the "interval hourly 6 :interval daily " line will be active and 7 :interval weekly 4days of backups will be kept.

:<blockquote>{{Text|Text= interval hourly 6 interval daily 7 interval weekly 4 interval monthly 12}}</blockquote>
