[rsnapshot-discuss] Where to start?

[Bastiaan Naber]

Hi,

Via some website I found: http://rsnapshot.org/ but I don't know where to
start. The website mentions:

"If this is your first experience with rsnapshot, you may want to read the
rsnapshot HOWTO at http://www.rsnapshot.org/. The HOWTO will give you a
detailed walk-through on how to get rsnapshot up and running in explicit
detail."

But I can't find the HOWTO anywhere on the website, nor does it list any
contact details. In the FAQ there is a dead link to a HOWTO:
http://rsnapshot.org/howto/1.2/rsnapshot-HOWTO.en.html#restoring_backups Could
someone update that one?

Thanks in advance,
Bastiaan

read the manual page, e.g.
$ man rsnapshot

also have a look at /etc/rsnapshot.conf

MAKE SURE you use tabs, and not spaces in the config file.
