The portage version of rsnapshot 1.2.1 (most recent) has a problem |
12 |
with the newest gnu cp. It can cause rsnapshot to eat all your |
13 |
carefully saved backups. This was discussed on rsnapshot list some |
14 |
time ago: |

And more recently when rsnapshot ate all my backups. |

|

The newer version 1.2.2 does not have this problem. |
20 |
Maybe it should be hustled into portage. |
21 |
|
22 |
Or certain lines in the exiting version can be edited |
23 |
(explained the cited messages). |
