Description of problem: rsnapshot fails to make backups with default rsnapshot.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Universal? (have not tested on other systems beside my own) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable Snapshots from Drake GUI 2. Setup parameters like source and target directories, click Apply 3. On command line enter 'rsnapshot -t hourly' as root This produces 'ERROR: at least one backup level must be set, rsnapshot will exit' SOLUTION: The man file for rsnapshot says - "Backup levels must be specified in the config file in order, from most frequent to least frequent. The first entry is the one which will be synced with the backup points. The subsequent backup levels (e.g., daily, weekly, etc) simply rotate, with each higher backup level pulling from the one below it for its .0 directory. retain hourly 6 retain daily 7 retain weekly 4" I added the 3 lines as shown in the man file to /etc/rsnapshot.conf with Tab separators, not spaces. This fixed the error, the cron job is getting rsnapshot to run as intended. NOTE: Directories in the rsnapshot.conf file should be designated with trailing slashes, e.g. /home/user/ not /home/user - this instruction is provided as comment at the head of the file.

Just downloaded this by clicking "Snapshots" in mcc. Package and dependencies apparently downloaded correctly, but would not load. It hangs up with the message "Loading". This is on an up-to-date Cauldron x86_64 installation with Enlightenment
