rsnapshot has an option specifically for that (which I use to handle |
| 20 |
the case where my Firewire backup drive is disconnected or powered |
| 21 |
down_). |

|

From /etc/rsnapshot.conf: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
# If no_create_root is enabled, rsnapshot will not automatically create the |
| 26 |
# snapshot_root directory. This is particularly useful if you are backing |
| 27 |
# up to removable media, such as a FireWire or USB drive. |
