I installed rsnapshot Install rsnapshot and would like to use a command to perform a backup without a schedule.

I tried to find the information on its official website but I was only able to find information about scheduled backups. I couldn't find a simple command to perform a single backup.

How can I do that? Is there any command to perform a backup without a schedule?

  • What you are looking for is "rsync" if you want it command line Examples: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/09/rsync-command-examples/ – Rinzwind Apr 30 '15 at 07:48

You can start a snapshot with a simple

rsnapshot <backup_interval>

e.g.:

rsnapshot daily

My rsnapshot.conf has the following entries:

[...]

#########################################
#           BACKUP INTERVALS            #
# Must be unique and in ascending order #
# i.e. hourly, daily, weekly, etc.      #
#########################################

# interval      hourly  15 
interval        daily   7
# interval      weekly  4                                
# interval      monthly 3

[...]

or with grep:

$ grep '^interval' /etc/rsnapshot.conf 
interval    daily
