I use additional rsync options, including -F so that I can simply use .rsync-filter files at the top level of any file system area being backed up.

Also, edit your /etc/updatedb.conf and add your rsnapshot root to the PRUNEPATHS entry; that will save excessive indexing of the backups.

I never used automatic processes, this looks really nice.
 
However, what about restoring data - without that the whole thing seems not complete? Thanks!
