This gives you extra features. # EVERYONE ELSE: Leave "cmd_cp" commented out for compatibility. # # See the README file or the man page for more details. # cmd_cp /bin/cp # uncomment this to use the rm program instead of the built-in perl routine. cmd_rm /bin/rm # rsync must be enabled for anything to work. cmd_rsync /usr/bin/rsync # Uncomment this to enable remote ssh backups over rsync. #cmd_ssh /usr/bin/ssh # Comment this out to disable syslog support. cmd_logger /usr/bin/logger # Uncomment this to specify a path to "du" for disk usage checks. cmd_du /bin/du ######################################### # BACKUP INTERVALS # # Must be unique and in ascending order # # i.e. hourly, daily, weekly, etc. # ######################################### # remember that the backup names used by rsnapshot are not meaningful # (daily.0, weekly.3 etc). It's important to freeze some "landmark" # backups by changing their names. Create an empty dir with the name # of the backup you renamed, so as to keep rsnapshot happy (haven't # tested if it breaks/complains with the absence of a backup dir... # Ex: "mv daily.0 rodio-20050627-2nd.80GB.disk.crash" #interval hourly 6 interval daily 7 interval weekly 4 interval monthly 12 ############################################ # GLOBAL OPTIONS # # All are optional, with sensible defaults # ############################################ # If your version of rsync supports --link-dest, consider enable this. # This is the best way to support special files (FIFOs, etc) cross-platform. # The default is 0 (off). # link_dest 1 # Verbose level, 1 through 5. # 1 Quiet Print fatal errors only # 2 Default Print errors and warnings only # 3 Verbose Show equivalent shell commands being executed # 4 Extra Verbose Show extra verbose information # 5 Debug mode More than you care to know # verbose 3 # Same as "verbose" above, but controls the amount of data sent to the # logfile, if one is being used. The default is 3. loglevel 3 # If you enable this, data will be written to the file you specify. The # amount of data written is controlled by the "loglevel" parameter. logfile /var/log/rsnapshot # The include and exclude parameters, if enabled, simply get passed directly # to rsync.
