setup help for Rsnapshot
I have installed funplugs 0.5 with perl package. I am trying to install rsnapshot in an attempt to solve my back problem. see link http://dns323.kood.org/forum/t2510-Rsyn … -help.html
for installing I did the following rsnapshot from the following links from marinalink:
http://dns323.kood.org/forum/t2348-Rsna … ackup.html <-- contains rsnapshot-1.3.0-ffp05.tgz
1. copied file to package directory from funplug
2. executed funpkg -i rsnapshot-1.3.0-ffp05.tgz
3. copied rsnapshot.conf.default and moved/renamed it to /ffp/etc/rsnapshot.conf
this never worked so I ended up testing marinalink rsnapshot.conf coping it modifing the path line.
http://dns323.kood.org/forum/t2349-Shor … ckups.html <-- contains rsnapshot.conf
I have create a test directory /mnt/HD_a2/FTP/Test as I want to see how rsnapshot handles a small truecrypt file.
however I can not get it to back-up I see this on the command line but no data was transfered into .snaphot directory.
-------------------------- command line--------------------------------
/mnt/HD_a2/packages # rsnapshot monthly
Setting locale to POSIX "C"
echo 1996 > /var/run/rsnapshot.pid
/mnt/HD_b2/B-test/.snapshots/monthly.2 not present (yet), nothing to delete
/mnt/HD_b2/B-test/.snapshots/monthly.1 not present (yet), nothing to rotate
/mnt/HD_b2/B-test/.snapshots/monthly.0 not present (yet), nothing to rotate
/mnt/HD_b2/B-test/.snapshots/weekly.3 not present (yet), nothing to copy
rm -f /var/run/rsnapshot.pid
/ffp/bin/logger -p user.info -t rsnapshot /ffp/bin/rsnapshot monthly: \
completed successfully
--------------------------------------------------------
I am attaching my modified rsnapshot.conf and below placing my output log file
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: setup help for Rsnapshot
I assume that you have two volumes setup on your DNS.
I.e there is a /mnt/HD_b2 and a /mnt/HD_a2

Re: setup help for Rsnapshot
@quekky:
You are absolutely correct.
First run daily, this should work. If you execited daily for 7 times, then a weekly will run through, copying it to weekly.0 etc.

Re: setup help for Rsnapshot
Thanks everyone for the help. I did not realize the order mattered. I was able to get rsnapshot to work Also I needed to add the following to the rsnapshot.conf
rsync_short_args -aivxc <---- Main part is the c option which enables checksums
this allows rsync to detect a change in a truecrypt volume.
rsync_long_args --delete --no-whole-file --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded <--- the key here was to add --no-whole-file. This forces rsync to use delta-transmission.
lastly I have done some experiments which shows entropy for the truecrypt volume is to complex for rsync
which i read about but had to see for my self 
. So I need to rethink my backup strategies and making these volumes smaller( currently two 150GB volumes) or forgo the encryption.
Again thanks for the help.
