Package: rsnapshot
Version: 1.3.0-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

Here's a cron and anacron friendly launcher script for rsnapshot. Just drop it 
into 
/etc/cron.hourly and everything will be taken care of.

When called it checks how long ago the different backups (monthly, weekly, 
daily, hourly) 
were successfully performed, and performs the relevant one, if any.  It saves 
its state in 
/var/spool/rsnapshot.

It runs the "hourly" job every four hours and the others at the obvious 
intervals.

It's doesn't care about any command line parameters, and it doesn't read any 
configuration 
files.

I've been running with this for a couple of weeks now, and it works splendidly.

  Cheers //Johan
