Hi Folks,
I am running rsnapshot 1.21 on OS X Tiger via the darwinport. I have
two drives and I am trying to setup rsnapshot to backup a few
directories in the first drive to the second one. It appears that
rsnapshot isn't actually making a master copy of the data on the second
drive to hardlink off of. Its just hardlinking from the first drive so
if I go delete a file from the first drive it disappears from the backup
dir. Below is a copy of my rsnapshot.conf, I would appreciate any help
you might be able to give me.
###########################
# SNAPSHOT ROOT DIRECTORY #
###########################
config_version 1.2
# All snapshots will be stored under this root directory.
snapshot_root /Volumes/mirror/backup/
# If no_create_root is enabled, rsnapshot will not automatically create the
# snapshot_root directory. This is particularly useful if you are backing
# up to removable media, such as a FireWire drive.
#
#no_create_root 1
#################################
# EXTERNAL PROGRAM DEPENDENCIES #
#################################
# LINUX USERS: Be sure to uncomment "cmd_cp". 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.
#
###TURNED THESE OFF BECAUSE THERE WAS NO GNU CP
#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
#########################################
# BACKUP INTERVALS #
# Must be unique and in ascending order #
# i.e. hourly, daily, weekly, etc. #
#########################################
#interval hourly 1
interval daily 7
interval weekly 2
#interval monthly 3
############################################
# GLOBAL OPTIONS #
# All are optional, with sensible defaults #
############################################
# If your version of rsync supports --link-dest, you should 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. If you have multiple include/exclude patterns, put each one on a
# seperate line. Please look up the --include and --exclude options in the
# rsync man page for more details.
#
#include ???
#include ???
#exclude ???
#exclude ???
# The include_file and exclude_file parameters, if enabled, simply get
# passed directly to rsync. Please look up the --include-from and
# --exclude-from options in the rsync man page for more details.
#
#include_file /path/to/include/file
#exclude_file /path/to/exclude/file
# Default rsync args. All rsync commands have at least these options set.
#
#rsync_short_args -a
#rsync_long_args --delete --numeric-ids
#rsync_long_args --numeric-ids --delete --delete-excluded
# ssh has no args passed by default, but you can specify some here.
#
#ssh_args -p 22
# If this is enabled, rsync won't span filesystem partitions within a
# backup point. This essentially passes the -x option to rsync.
# The default is 0 (off).
#
#one_fs 0
# If you enable the lockfile, make sure the lockfile directory is
# not world writable. Otherwise anyone can prevent the program from running.
#
lockfile /var/run/rsnapshot
