Well, it may seem in hindsight to you as a digression, but I 
think we can at least agree that everyone was just trying to 
offer various options to you.

How long to learn?  If you are using a Linux system with a 
package management system, then just install it and look 
through the configuration file.  30 minutes?  1 hour?  That 
was probably my first time and now I just copy the 
configuration file to other systems.

If you're compiling from source...well...  If you're doing 
that, I guess you've chosen being "hands-on" over learning 
time.  I'm not sure if that's rsnapshot's fault.  :-)

On some mailing lists, you can ask a question and get *zero* 
replies.  And then you end up asking again for help and 
again get *zero* replies.  Rather than counting the number 
of alternatives you got, you should look on the bright side 
and be glad that you got at least 1.  :-)
