The upgrade instructions are in the INSTALL document, so
install it as well as README.

Note that config file format has changed, but rsnapshot will detect an
old config and refuse to run until config is updated.
VERSION 1.2.1 (Apr 09 15:10 2005)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fixed security bug when neither cmd_cp or link_dest are enabled
VERSION 1.2.0 (Jan 31 21:43 2005)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Peter Palfrader <weasel@debian.org> enhanced error reporting to include
command line options
- Bharat Mediratta <bharat@menalto.com> improved the exclusion rules to avoid
backing up the snapshot root. The old way was also kept for users who can't
or don't want to upgrade their destination paths in their backup points.
- Bharat Mediratta <bharat@menalto.com> added a "+" feature to the per-backup
point args to allow additive include/exclude rules.

- Changed default destination paths for backup points in example config file
for compatibility with --relative rsync flag

with link_dest option enabled
- Broke backwards compatibility for the benefit of fixing several outstanding
issues. The default value for rsync_long_args is now different.
- Changed add_lockfile() verbose message to "echo $$ > /path/to/lockfile.pid"
which is actually what the code is doing
- Added check to make sure backup_scripts can't share destination path with
backup points
- Added check to make sure different backup_script destinations don't overlap
and don't clobber backup point destinations
- Added "cmd_du" parameter to allow specifying the path to "du"
- Nicolas Kaiser <nikai@nikai.net> provided various typo fixes in the program
and man page

options

rsnapshot.conf.default file to rsnapshot.conf if it's a new installation
- Added rollback feature to restore interval.0 snapshots when using link_dest
- Added second option for du, to compare subdirectories or files
- Added "du_args" to pass arguments to du
- Relaxed cmd line option validation, but only when du is the command
- Now only show command invocation for logger on verbose level 4
- Added rsync cleanup after native_cp_al() to preserve special files
- Removed warning messages from native_cp_al() about special files
- Modified error printing so full run string is displayed once at the top
of a list of error messages
- Fixed bug in old method of preventing the snapshot root from being backed
up, which occurred when snapshot root was more than one level down from a
backup point
- Added commented out du_args to rsnapshot.conf.default.in
- Added descriptive error if "du" fails

Using rsnapshot, it is possible to take snapshots of your filesystems
at different points in time. Using hard links, rsnapshot creates the
illusion of multiple full backups, while only taking up the space of
one full backup plus differences. When coupled with ssh, it is possible
to take snapshots of remote filesystems as well.
