-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.  This also assumes you have an MTA properly set-up in order to send email.  To create a basic configuration, do the following:
+Since I am backing up multiple remote hosts, I chose to create separate configs for each remote host instead of putting those destinations in the ''/etc/rsnapshot.conf'' together with the localhost/backup server. The localhost configuration is as follows:
+  #base config
+  config_version          1.2
+  snapshot_root           /mnt/backups/rsnapback/localhost.domain/
+  cmd_cp                  /bin/cp
+  cmd_rm                  /bin/rm
+  cmd_rsync               /usr/bin/rsync
+  cmd_ssh                 /usr/bin/ssh
+  cmd_logger              /usr/bin/logger
+  verbose                 2
+  loglevel                3
+  logfile                 /var/log/rsnapshot.log
+  sync_first              1
+  use_lazy_deletes        1
+  retain                  alpha                                           90
+  #localhost
+  backup                  /home/                                          home/
+  backup                  /etc/                                           etc/

+  backup                  /var/www/                                       www/

+Once you master these steps, checkout remote-upgrades, so you can use these backup scripts and tools with a greater remote vpn and backup solution.
