Thanks Richard, that make sense!

Is it possible to disable backup in /etc/rsbackup/defaults?

# Set backup=hourly|daily|weekly|monthly to control frequency of
# backup attempts. (Use backup policies for fine-grained control over
# when backups happen.)

There is no "never" option in the help text or do a simply uncomment
"#backup" work?
Or is there any other workaround I don't see?
