I'm currently using plain and flat rsync to backup my files, meaning I have no incremental backups.A few days ago I became aware of the existence of rsnapshot and after looking at the man page I came to the conclusion that this is a great tool and I'd like to use it.My 'problem' now is that I'd like to use my already existing backups as a base for the first rsnapshot backup.After looking at the man page I'm thinking I should be able to move my existing backups to the hourly.0 directory, rsnapshot would create upon the first rsnapshot hourly invocation.Am I correct on this? Unfortunatly I don't have enough storage to make a backup of my backups for playing around.
