-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. I have the config set to retain 90 days worth of backups called "alpha" and it is set to sync first. 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                  /usr/local/bin/                                 bin/ 
 +  backup                  /root/                                          root/ 
 +  backup                  /var/www/                                       www/ 
 +   
 +Then, to run this, I use a simple script I created. Again, this script is just for running the localhost, so it can also be used for someone's single desktop: 
 + 
 +  #!/bin/bash 
 +  service="/usr/bin/rsnapshot" 
 +  logfile="/home/logs/tempa.log" 
 +          START1="$(date +%s)" 
 +          touch $logfile 
 +          $service -V sync > $logfile 
 +          END1="$(date +%s)" 
 +          DURATION1=$[ ${END1} - ${START1} ] 
 +          MINUTES=$[ ${DURATION1} / 60 ] 
 +          sed -i "1s/^/Jonathan, at $(date), the rsnapshot sync took exactly ${DURATION1} seconds which is approximately ${MINUTES} minutes to complete.\n/" $logfile 
 +  if 
 +          tail -n -5 $logfile | grep "completed" 
 +  then 
 +          START1="$(date +%s)" 
 +          echo "Jonathan, at $(date), the sync has completed and I am now running alpha." 
 +          $service -V alpha >> $logfile 
 +          END1="$(date +%s)" 
 +          DURATION1=$[ ${END1} - ${START1} ] 
 +          MINUTES=$[ ${DURATION1} / 60 ] 
 +          sed -i "1s/^/Jonathan, at $(date), the rsnapshot alpha took exactly ${DURATION1} seconds which is approximately ${MINUTES} minutes to complete.\n/" $logfile 
 +          mail -s "[$(hostname -f)]-rsnap-success-$(date)" alerts@alerts.com < $logfile 
 +          rm $logfile 
 +          chown sexa:sexa -R /mnt/backups/rsnapback/localhost.domain/ 
 +          chmod 770 -R /mnt/backups/rsnapback/localhost.domain/ 
 +  else 
 +          echo "Jonathan, at $(date), the sync has failed and I am now notifying you." 
 +          mail -s "[$(hostname -f)]-rsnap-failure-$(date)" alerts@alerts.com < $logfile 
 +          rm $logfile 
 +  fi 
 +

-Enjoy.+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.
