I use rsnapshot to backup several machines on my network, the home folders mostly. I've not had any problems with it. What specific questions do you have?

hi frob23 i was reading about it and i would like to setup it on my machine so i can backup my machine in snapshot and i would like to save the snapshots to a harddrive in the same machine
drive space is not problem i every time i backup my machine in mandriva backup tool and go to restore it comes back saying it corrupted a lot of time wasted rsync is ready install on the system i would neeed to install rsnapshot and configure it run that where i would need a bit of guidence configureing and the running commands
