Weekly and monthly backup doesnīt work

Post Weekly and monthly backup doesnīt work 
Hello Iīve installed rsnapshot on my debian Server and everything works, except weekly and monthly backups. I can do daily backups, but when I try to do a weekly or monthly backup by typing "rsnapshot weekly" or "rsnapshot monthly" it says completed successfully but there isnīt a new file in the backup-directory. But daily works norrmal! What could be wrong? Thanks in anticipation, Sebastian Salmhofer

Before you can perform a weekly backup, you must first have 7 daily backups.

Michael.

Hi Sebastian.

If you have configured Rsnapshot to have for example 7 daily snapshots
then evoking the next level e.g. weekly does not do very much until you
have accumulated 7 daily snapshots i.e. until you reached daily.6.

Remember that in my example weekly.0 is a copy of daily.6. You need to
have this daily.6 first to have your first weekly snapshot.

Just wait until you have enough daily snapshots... (or call "rsnapshot
daily" manually as often as desired to force things a little faster)

A side tip during trouble shooting Sebastian.... There is a dry run for rsnapshot that I've been using for 2 years now. With specific flags it allows you to mimic the complete rsnapshot process without it actually writing out or copying over.
