Help requested on rsnapshot

[stanl]

I would like to store backups on a removeable drive which I manually mount as:
mount /dev/sd1a /mnt

According to the config file /etc/rsnapshot:
# If no_create_root is enabled, rsnapshot will not automatically create the
# snapshot_root directory. This is particularly useful if you are backing
# up to removable media, such as a FireWire or USB drive.
#

My question quite simply is - How do I tell rsnapshot to store backups on that removeable usb drive?

Thanks as always for any assistance.

Point snapshot_root at the directory you'll mount the drive to. I suggest you create a directory on the drive and point at that so it won't exist when not mounted and no_create_root will prevent backing up to the local disk.

So snapshot_root would be set to something like /mnt/backup/

Thank you. That works. I appreciate your taking the time.
