That's how a lot of graphical programs came to be in the Linux world: they often don't have anything more than a graphical interface to the user, and an interface to some command-line program. GUIs are nice for new people; but, eventually, it becomes far easier to use the command line, where all options and settings are only a switch away. @Yang: I wouldn’t be surprised if rsnapshot uses rsync.

Is that true? So if I am using rsnapshot to back things up already, there's no need to use rsync right? I mean I'm pretty new to Debian and with rsnapshot I save all the trouble to set up cron and things like that that would otherwise have to be set up with rsync.
