Hi folks :-) I just upgraded 2 pc to debian stable (finally! :-) I see new version of rsnapshot 1.4.2.1, I'd like make a daily backup and keep it for 10 years, so I done this: cat /etc/rsnapshot.conf [...] retain alpha 1 retain beta 7 retain gamma 12 retain delta 10 cat /etc/cron.d/rsnapshot 00 01 * * * root /usr/bin/rsnapshot alpha 30 3 * * * root /usr/bin/rsnapshot beta 0 3 * * 1 root /usr/bin/rsnapshot gamma 30 2 1 * * root /usr/bin/rsnapshot delta is it the correct config? thanks for help! :) Pol

alpha = daily
beta = weekly
gamma = monthly
delta = yearly?
> cat /etc/cron.d/rsnapshot

alpha will be run daily at 01:00 am and beta daily at 03:30 am. Is this
what you want?
> 0 3 * * 1 root /usr/bin/rsnapshot gamma
This will be run every Monday at 03:00 ("weekly").
> 30 2 1 * * root /usr/bin/rsnapshot delta
This will be run on every first day of the month at 02:30 am.
You probably need something like this:
# Daily at 01:00 am
00 01 * * * root /usr/bin/rsnapshot alpha
# Weekly on every Monday at 03:30 am
30 3 * * 1 root /usr/bin/rsnapshot beta
# Monthly on every first day of the month at 03:00 am
0 3 1 * * root /usr/bin/rsnapshot gamma
# Yearly on January 1st at 02:30
30 2 1 1 * root /usr/bin/rsnapshot delta
You might want to tweak the times. You could also use sync_first which
makes this a little bit easier.

(And also once a year, they will occur 210 minutes apart.)

That's one reason I like to use GMT instead of local time for things "within" the computer--then I can decide how I want to deal with things like time changes due to daylight savings time (or moving / traveling) between different time zones.

For your configuration: yes, I think so. I am still using rsnapshot's
old days/weeks/months method, so I do not have own experience with the
alpa/beta/gamma/delta thing.
