Do you need split configuration? Are you wedded to it? My advice would be to
copy /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated to /etc/exim4.conf, at which point the
Debian exim configuration is overridden, and just edit that one file instead.

Can you please explain what design flaw is that? Isn't directory with
complete backup (but not occupying that much space due to hard links

Yes indeed, great read.
Also this: http://www.jwz.org/doc/backups.html
A single external drive, normally stored away from the server, would be enough
to have a backup that would survive the host going up

Hi all!
Recently I installed Debian on a new computer, and I want to avoid using
Pulseaudio (it is problematic for me, and this is a long discussion on
this and another lists about that).
I tried to uninstall it, and
I would say that neither hardware nor software RAID are a replacement for
a working backup scheme.

Best avoid rsnapshot. Use (at least) rdiff-backup instead, which is

This is not actually true. Yes, the majority of USB hard drives do not support
