I would suggest either using a different value for snapshot_root in |
| 15 |
your rsnapshot.conf, or a new backup entry with a different |
| 16 |
destination. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I am doing something similar on a newly setup gentoo server, and have |
| 19 |
the snapshot for each remote system sent to a separate directory: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
(from rsnapshot.conf) |
| 22 |
backup root@hotdog:/home/ hotdog/ +rsync_long_args=--bwlimit=6000 |
| 23 |
... |
| 24 |
backup root@cheddar:/home/ cheddar/ +rsync_long_args=--bwlimit=6000 |
| 25 |
... |
| 26 |
backup root@batboy:/home/ batboy/ +rsync_long_args=--bwlimit=6000 |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
This results in the following directory layout: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
pickles portage # ls -l /snapshots/daily.0/ |
| 31 |
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Oct 14 17:08 batboy |
| 32 |
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Oct 12 03:59 cheddar |
| 33 |
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Oct 11 19:56 hotdog |
| 34 |
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Oct 11 16:22 localhost |

Those look fairly standard. |

I don't see any way around that either. |
