+Let's start with rsnapshot.  Before you begin, you must already know how to add a hard drive to your system, a mount point, and an appropriate fstab entry.  To create a basic configuration, do the following:
+  sudo apt install rsnapshot
+  nano /etc/rsnapshot.conf
+  <rsnapshot_root /enter-mount-point-here>
+Uncomment the alpha, beta, gamma, and delta sections under //backup levels// section, enable the sync-first option, and specify the directories you want to backup (remember, ''localhost'', calls whatever you have above in ''rsnapshot_root'' from above):
+  <retain  alpha   6>
+  <retain  beta    7>
+  <retain  gamma   4>
+  <retain  delta   3>
+  <sync_first      1>
+  <backup /home/   localhost>
+  <backup /etc/    localhost>
+Making an rsync over ssh mirror using alternate port and the old syntax.
