rsnapshot

[@lbutlr]

I’ve looked for a list on rsnapshot, but not found anything. I am setting a backup from one machine to another. This is  brand new install of Rsnapshot on a brand new install of FreeBSD 12.1, the server the is being backed up is run-in 11.4.

backup	backup at mail.covisp.net:/usr/local/	mail.covisp.net/	exclude=core

This works without errors, but many files are not copied, including none of the mail (/usr/local/virtual/[user]@[domain]/ and a large chunk of the web content (28GB versus 3GB).

rsnapshot runs on the backup machine and logs in to backup at server using a certificate, the user backup at server is in the server’s sudoers file with permission to run rsync.
