I've created the backup server using this tutorial under Redhat and Debian Linux systems. How do I restore files (such as /var/www/html) with rsnapshot backup tool?

I got rsnapshot based backup server up and running for my network under Debian Linux 5.x. But, whenever I run a backup job using the following command:
rsnapshot -v -c /root/rsnapshot.server1.conf hourly
I get the following messages on screen:

WARNING: Could not lchown() symlink "/nas/.rsnapshot/hourly.1/server1.example.com/etc/alternatives/locate" WARNING: Could not lchown() symlink "/nas/.rsnapshot/hourly.1/server1.example.com/etc/alternatives/nc.1.gz" WARNING: Could not lchown() symlink "/nas/.rsnapshot/hourly.1/server1.example.com/etc/alternatives/jexec-binfmt" WARNING: Could not lchown() symlink "/nas/.rsnapshot/hourly.1/server1.example.com/etc/alternatives/servertool"

I'd like to configure my Debian box to backup two remote servers using rsnapshot software. It should make incremental snapshots of local and remote filesystems for any number of machines on 2nd hard disk located at /disk1 ( /dev/sdb2).]]> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-rsnapshot-backup-howto/feed/ 17
