Ah, I see. I do weekly backups on this home system. There's not a vast amount of data to handle, so weekly is OK here. My backup script does Grandfather-Father-Son rsyncs to three different drives, so there are always two 'historic' copies. I can see that in an office, with a lot of data, having hourly, daily, weekly, etc., snapshots is much more important. Thanks for the clarification. (I can relax.
