I set up the rsnapshot.conf as you told me...waiting that something happens

That is a good start. Please also try the two commands I suggested and post the output here.

I don't understand why in the error message the file I have to copy (which is config.inc.php) has an .lQ16RU added ?

That file is a temporary file created by rsync. The user running rsync must have read/write permissions on the folder contents and the folder itself, and if you're running rsync as root, you might need to give everyone read/write permissions on the folder and its contents.

But now I'm confused. Are you trying to backup your NAS using rsync, or rsnapshot?
