Is there any advantage ro running rsnapshot over plain old rsync? I don't want to do regular timed backups with chron because my backup disk is usb and I only plug it in when I want to use it. (don't want it running all of the time.)
There is no problem with calling rsnapshot by hand instead of installing it into a crontab. With a little bit scripting, It is even possible to call it automatically on plugin of an usb disk and let the machine beep if the backup is done and the disk can be removed.
