fyi: crontab clobbering rsnapshot runs
Author Message
Post fyi: crontab clobbering rsnapshot runs 
my hourly/daily/weekly/monthly's were clobbering each other.

I guess that's because I had them starting at the same time.

so i run hourly 0 */4 which would be every 6 hours starting at 12am.
the daily/monthly/weekly i run at 2 *, 4 *, (skip 6), 8 *. This
offsets each one by 2 hours, if your backups take longer than 2 hours,
you'll probably want to change the hourly to < every 6 hrs.

#data backups (every 6 hours), and then starting d/w/m offset by 2 hours on
#so as not to clobber the occassions where daily/weekly run at the same time.
0 */4 * * * /usr/bin/rsnapshot hourly
0 2 * * * /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily
0 4 1,8,15,22 * * /usr/bin/rsnapshot weekly
0 8 1 * * /usr/bin/rsnapshot monthly
