I m on debian sarge . I installed backupp pc via apt.
Backuppc works by default in my debian but when i mount a usb disk with the 
good rights uid and gid of backuppc , the server doesn't work.
I mount my usb device disk in /var/lib/backuppc for save all the backups on 
this disk.
My fstab line:
/dev/sda1       /var/lib/backuppc       vfat    rw,uid=103,gid=104,umask=000    
0   0
I'm almost certain that BackupPC won't work with vfat. It requires a good Linux file system capable of hard links etc.

If this USB disk is only to be used with Linux then you need to change the partition type to 82 using (as root):

cfdisk /dev/sda

Then format it with your favorite file system.  For example:

mke2fs -j /dev/sda1

Then change your fstab entry to look like this:

/dev/sda1       /var/lib/backuppc       ext3    defaults        0 0

You may also want the 'noauto' option if your USB disk is not going to be plugged in at every boot.

Hope this helps,

Rupert
