* Move to the "/etc" directory.

* Make a backup copy of the rsnapshot configuration file. Why? So that there is a reference just in case.

* Now using a favourite editor, open the "rnapshot.conf" file.

<br/>

'''Please Note:''' Items in the configuration file are separated by "tab" characters and NOT multiple spaces.

* Find the "SNAPSHOT ROOT DIRECTORY" section and change "snapshot_root" to path where the backups will be stored.

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

* 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 daily" line will be active and 7 days of backups will be kept.

* Find the "GLOBAL OPTIONS" section. This section defines how much information will be saved in the rsnapshot "log" file.

* Find the "logfile" line and change the line item. After rsnapshot has completed backups this is where the resulting "log" file is stored. Change this line as required.

* Find the "BACKUP POINTS / SCRIPTS" section. Add changes as seen below. This is the section that defines the "key directories" that will be backed up. Please note the "localhost/", this represents the server that it being backed up. "localhost/" is a default name given to the current server. Change this name as required, say "amahiBox/"?

* Save the "rsnapshot.conf" file.
