[This message was posted some time ago but failed to show on the list I've resubscribed so hope it goes thru now] =============================================================== The portage version of rsnapshot 1.2.1 (most recent) has a problem with the newest gnu cp. It can cause rsnapshot to eat all your carefully saved backups. This was discussed on rsnapshot list some time ago: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=8988105&forum_id=41320 And more recently when rsnapshot ate all my backups. The newer version 1.2.2 does not have this problem. Maybe it should be hustled into portage. Or certain lines in the exiting version can be edited (explained the cited messages). Look for this message and subject on gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.rsnapshot.general, for some of the discussion From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: rsnap failure in cp -al leads to deletion of all but one Hourly* Newsgroups: gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.rsnapshot.general, gmane.linux.gentoo.user Cc: [email protected] Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2005 08:47:05 -0600 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [email protected] mailing list
