Quick recipe to configure rsnapshot.
These are the critical settings in /etc/rsnapshot.conf'''Please Note:'''
snapshot_root rnapshot is an excellent backup application and has been around for a long time and is extremely stable. This article discusses doing backups to an external USB drive that is formatted for the "ext3" filesystem type. It depends on the attributes that are unique to Linux/mnt/1tbUnix (i.e. ext3, ext4) filesystems only. If backups to CIFS (Samba a.k.a. smb, fat, fat32, vfat, ntfs) filesystems are required a different backup application '''must''' be used (rdiff-external/snapshots/ interval daily 14 interval weekly 4 interval monthly 4backup).
This will create a series of directories called daily.0 through daily.13weekly.0 to weekly.3 ... etc.__TOC__
=Another example of rsnapshot configuration on amahi 5.1=
In this example automated backups are made to an external usb drive.
Plug in the USB drive, it wil will probably mount automatically under /media/yourdisklabel
First login as root in a terminal (putty or ssh root@hda)
Save the file.
