Package: rsnapshot Version: 1.3.0-2 Severity: normal It seems that the value returned by cmd_preexec is ignored by rsnapshot. In particular if the command specified by cmd_preexec fails, rsnapshot will proceed anyway with the backup.
This is extremely problematic in the case that cmd_preexec is used to mount the backup drive since as described in bug #493176, no_create_root cannot be used in this instance. This essentially means that there is no way to check that the drive is mounted short of explicitly running mount /media/bkp && rsnapshot daily This last option however seems unnecessarily messy since the mounting could easily be handled safely with in rsnapshot.
