Is it possible to backup two different directories using two different intervals using rsnapshot? For example, if I want to backup my /home directory every day, but my /archive directory once a month. Or is that kind of moot point since rsnapshot only saves hard links if no changes are made?

I'd try to create different config files and then call rsnapshot separately for each directory, passing the respective config file with the -c option.

  • I think this is definitely the way to go. just make sure you use a different `snapshot_root` in each config file. – bmaupin Oct 31 '12 at 22:45
