Package: rsnapshot
Version: 1.2.9-1
>From the distributed /etc/rsnapshot.conf:
#interval hourly 6
#interval daily 7
#interval weekly 4
#interval monthly 6
IMO these shouldn't be commented out. That just makes it more
difficult to get started with rsnapshot after installing the package.
I'd like the file to say instead:
interval hourly 6
interval daily 7
interval weekly 4
interval monthly 6

Hello Johan,
Because of the way Rsnapshot moves previous interval backups, ex.
moving hourly.5 to daily.0 when running the daily job, setting
default values in the configuration is not feasible. For example,
this would cause problems for people running only the daily job, they
would need to edit the configuration to remove all intervals but
daily, because running only daily and having hourly defined in the
configuration would leave the user without any backups at all. The
intervals in the configuration file must be listed in ascending
order, where the last intervals depend on the previous ones.
Rsnapshot is not meant to be used out-of-the box, the configuration
file needs some editing, and at least a cron needs to be defined or
uncommented from /etc/cron.d/rsnapshot.
Please see bug #432862 for a good explanation on how Rsnapshot
rotates previous intervals.
Simon
