re:1
Just put a symbolic link where your data folder is.
Shut down backuppc
move the entire data directory to the larger drive.
create a link where the data folder was that points to the new drive.
re:2
If the system can't read the file, it can cause the error noted.
You can check the logs if the log level is high enough.
Easiest thing is to run the interactive dump as noted in the
documentation and look at the output.
If it is permissions on files, you need to exclude them.
The other issue is bad file names. Windows will let users create
invalid file names.
This can lead to unpredictable results. poorly coded web sites create
cookie files with invalid names.
For what it is worth, this is my exclude list for windows boxes.
