What you see there traditionally goes to /var/log/messages (through syslog I think); and the rsnapshot log (in my case /var/log/rsnapshot) looks like this: [30/Dec/2013:04:30:02] /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily: started [30/Dec/2013:04:30:02] echo 8237 > /var/run/rsnapshot.pid [30/Dec/2013:04:30:02] /bin/rm -rf /backup/daily.6/ [30/Dec/2013:04:30:30] mv /backup/daily.5/ /backup/daily.6/ [30/Dec/2013:04:30:30] mv /backup/daily.4/ /backup/daily.5/ [30/Dec/2013:04:30:30] mv /backup/daily.3/ /backup/daily.4/ [30/Dec/2013:04:30:30] mv /backup/daily.2/ /backup/daily.3/ [30/Dec/2013:04:30:30] mv /backup/daily.1/ /backup/daily.2/ [30/Dec/2013:04:30:30] /bin/cp -al /backup/daily.0 /backup/daily.1 [30/Dec/2013:04:31:35] /usr/bin/rsync -aHFr --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --exclude-from=/etc/rsnapshot-exclude /home/user /backup/daily.0/local/ [30/Dec/2013:04:31:47] /usr/bin/rsync -aHFr --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --exclude-from=/etc/rsnapshot-exclude /etc /backup/daily.0/local/ [30/Dec/2013:04:31:50] /usr/bin/rsync -aHFr --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --exclude-from=/etc/rsnapshot-exclude --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh user@host:/home/user /backup/daily.0/host/ [30/Dec/2013:04:33:58] /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily: ERROR: /usr/bin/rsync returned 255 while processing user@host:/home/user/ [30/Dec/2013:04:33:58] /usr/bin/rsync -aHFr --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --exclude-from=/etc/rsnapshot-exclude --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh user@host:/etc /backup/daily.0/host/ [30/Dec/2013:04:36:05] /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily: ERROR: /usr/bin/rsync returned 255 while processing user@host:/etc/ [30/Dec/2013:04:36:05] touch /backup/daily.0/ [30/Dec/2013:04:36:05] rm -f /var/run/rsnapshot.pid [30/Dec/2013:04:36:05] /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily: ERROR: /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily: completed, but with some errors As you can see the two lines in /var/log/messages are just the first and last lines of the more detailed version.
