You can move the destination, but the cpool and pc directories must always be on the same filesystem so hard links can work. The debian packaging moves things around so the easiest way is probably something like: cd /var/lib/backuppc cp -av . /backup cd /var/lib mv backuppc backuppc.old ln -s /backup backuppc This replaces the original backuppc directory with a symlink to your mounted drive. You could also just mount it as /var/lib/backuppc after copying the current contents to it. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
