My rsnapshot conf files consist of: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
/etc: |
| 4 |
rsnapshot_Mail.conf |
| 5 |
rsnapshot_Etc.conf |
| 6 |
rsnapshot_Home.conf |
| 7 |
rsnapshot_News.conf |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
There run at all the normal intervals. hourly, daily, weekly, monthly |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Suddenly following a full update with world -u from a well out of date |
| 12 |
system, all these conf files have reported having deleted what used |
| 13 |
to be their backup targets. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
~/Mail has many directories deleted ... ditto the other targets. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Following the update I got errors from rsnapshot that my conf files |
| 18 |
were missing a config_version parameter. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I inserted that paramater as `config_version \t\t <=(with tabs)=>1.2' |
| 21 |
into each. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Plus I renamed the /etc/rsnapshot.conf.default to |
| 24 |
rsnapshot.conf.default_DONT_USE_FOR_NOW_082905. I wasn't sure what |
| 25 |
role this file plays. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Following these changes my conf logs show the targets being deleted at |
| 28 |
least partially. |

What on earth have I done? |
