Do I have to create hourly.1 too? Or do you just mean, that I have to create the directory hourly.1/<instancename>/<original directories>? | |

| Jan 23, 2012 at 18:03 | comment | added | Chris | Finally tried it out and it works as a breeze. The only thing you have to pay attention to is, like Martin stated, that the directory structure in hourly.0 has to match the one hourly.1 would create. | |

| Jan 19, 2012 at 23:17 | comment | added | Martin Schröder | This should work, provided the directories under hourly.0 have the same basic structure as those under hourly.x. Try it out with a subset and -t. | |

| Jan 19, 2012 at 12:26 | comment | added | Mat | Can't you experiment on a much reduced volume? Just set up a very small backup with rsync and try to get rsnapshot to use it as a base - this won't tell you if it really works, but you'll find out very fast if it doesn't work at all. | |
