Package: rsnapshot Version: 1.3.1-1 Severity: normal
When backup points do not exist, rsnapshot refuses to proceed, throwing errors like: ERROR: /etc/rsnapshot.conf on line 196: ERROR: backup /mnt/root_backup/etc/ lizzie/ - Source directory \ "/mnt/root_backup/etc/" doesn't exist This makes sense for the lowest backup level, where we'll actually be doing a rsync with the source, but in the higher levels, we're merely rotating the target, so why do we care? I use rsnapshot with lvm snapshots, which I create before every rsnapshot invocation and remove afterward. But why should this be necessary for the higher level backups? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33-lizzie Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages rsnapshot depends on: ii liblchown-perl 1.01-1 Perl interface to the lchown() sys ii logrotate 3.7.8-4 Log rotation utility ii perl 5.10.1-11 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii rsync 3.0.7-2 fast remote file copy program (lik Versions of packages rsnapshot recommends: ii openssh-client 1:5.3p1-3 secure shell (SSH) client, for sec rsnapshot suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
