My rsnapshot conf files consist of: /etc: rsnapshot_Mail.conf rsnapshot_Etc.conf rsnapshot_Home.conf rsnapshot_News.conf
There run at all the normal intervals. hourly, daily, weekly, monthly Suddenly following a full update with world -u from a well out of date system, all these conf files have reported having deleted what used to be their backup targets. ~/Mail has many directories deleted ... ditto the other targets. Following the update I got errors from rsnapshot that my conf files were missing a config_version parameter. I inserted that paramater as `config_version \t\t <=(with tabs)=>1.2' into each. Plus I renamed the /etc/rsnapshot.conf.default to rsnapshot.conf.default_DONT_USE_FOR_NOW_082905. I wasn't sure what role this file plays. Following these changes my conf logs show the targets being deleted at least partially. What on earth have I done? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
