Thanks for that. What I didn't mention before is that the machine IS
running full-time, but the external USB drive that rsnapshot backs up to
gets taken away at the weekends. So I always want to run it on a weekday.
If the "second Friday of the month" option is the best available, should
rsnapshot run a cycle of 4 weekly backups or 5?
cheers
