alpha = daily
beta = weekly
gamma = monthly
delta = yearly?

alpha will be run daily at 01:00 am and beta daily at 03:30 am. Is this
what you want?

This will be run every Monday at 03:00 ("weekly").

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.
