Problems getting Rsnapshot to work, even just for a local backup

my goal is to backup a remote server. However, I first want to get just a local backup working, running on Ubuntu 20. For this, my /etc/rsnapshot.conf file is the following: config_version 1.2 snapshot_root /var/backupsFromRsnapshot/ cmd_rsync /usr/bin/rsync # The retain arguments define the number of snapshots to retain at different le> # I'm going to run cron job beta daily (so below will keep 7 daily snapshots), > retain alpha 6 retain beta 7 retain gamma 4 # Below defines what folders I want included in the snapshots. backup /home/ localhost/ backup /etc/ localhost/ backup /var/ localhost/ backup /usr/local/ localhost/ interval hourly 6 If I run "rsnapshot configtest", I get the following result: SYNTAX OK Then I test the backup with the following command: rsnapshot -t alpha The result is as follows: mkdir -m 0700 -p /var/backupsFromRsnapshot/ mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/backupsFromRsnapshot/alpha.0/ /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded \ /home/ /var/backupsFromRsnapshot/alpha.0/localhost/ mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/backupsFromRsnapshot/alpha.0/ /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded /etc/ \ /var/backupsFromRsnapshot/alpha.0/localhost/ mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/backupsFromRsnapshot/alpha.0/ /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded \ --filter=-/_/var/backupsFromRsnapshot /var/ \ /var/backupsFromRsnapshot/alpha.0/localhost/ mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/backupsFromRsnapshot/alpha.0/ /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded \ /usr/local/ /var/backupsFromRsnapshot/alpha.0/localhost/ touch /var/backupsFromRsnapshot/alpha.0/ However, if I check my /var/ directory, there is no backupsFromRsnapshot folder, yet any backup file. Is my config correct? Is my test expression correct? Where is the fault? Thanks!
