Yeah.  The story on my backups is a long one, but to shorten it down a
bit:  I used to have rsnapshot running every 60 minutes.  I'd retain 24
hours, 7 days, and 6 months worth of snapshots that way, and it was
great.  Then, that drive went away, and I didn't until recently have a
new one.  I'd neglected to set up that new drive for rsnapshot,
sticking to my weekly backups until I had it done...

Nice lesson on priorities, at least to me.  Backups are more important
than anything/everything else on a system.  Period.  I don't think I
will have any trouble remembering that lesson from here on forward.
