Package: rsnapshot
Version: 1.3.1-1
Severity: normal
When backup points do not exist, rsnapshot refuses to proceed, throwing errors
like:
ERROR: /etc/rsnapshot.conf on line 196:
ERROR: backup /mnt/root_backup/etc/ lizzie/ - Source directory \
"/mnt/root_backup/etc/" doesn't exist
This makes sense for the lowest backup level, where we'll actually be doing a
rsync with the source, but in the higher levels, we're merely rotating the
target, so why do we care?
I use rsnapshot with lvm snapshots, which I create before every rsnapshot
invocation and remove afterward. But why should this be necessary for the
higher level backups?
