IMO that explains everything except for why somebody thinks "hourly"
means "every four hours". It should be called "quadhourly" or
something.
Maybe you should talk to the cron and anacron maintainers about the
ordering? Right now both cron and anacron runs hourly, daily, weekly,
monthly in that
rsnapshot will work better if monthly is done before weekly, weekly
before daily and daily before hourly.
For example, if you run "rsnapshot daily" then "rsnapshot weekly",
then you will end up with no daily.6 snapshot, and a snapshot will
be unnecessarily deleted (assuming the default rsnapsh

Package: rsnapshot
Version: 1.2.9-1
Severity: normal
