I have set up rsnapshot successfully a couple of times, and maybe because everything was rather painless (except for the vi tab fiasco of 2013) I am now out of ideas.
I have a cifs mounted remote drive at say \BACKUP and rsnapshot configured to copy the selected files to this folder with no_create_root 1.
If I run the configtest, rsnapshot configtest I get a Syntax OK message. I have also done the rsnapshot -t weekly test and I get no errors.
At this point, I have no reason to believe that things are not working, so I just run rsnapshot weekly, which is when I get:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
rsnapshot encountered an error! The program was invoked with these options:
/usr/bin/rsnapshot weekly
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Could not mkpath("/BACKUP/weekly.0/", 0, 0755);
Permissions are definitely set correctly, I can create folders and rsnapshot can also create folders (I have tested this by having rsnapshot dump the log file into the /BACKUP successfully).
