It looks like the only thing open when backuppc is running and idle is the /backuppc/log/LOG file.

So, if you symlink that dir to somewhere on another filesystem, I don't see why you can't use automount or maybe pre/post scripts to achieve what you want, for whatever reason :-)

Hello,

backuppc is installed from the Debian package, i.e. config stuff in /etc/backuppc, the rest in its own dedicated fs mounted on /var/lib/backuppc.

For whatever reason, I want to unmount the /var/lib/backuppc whenever there is no backup process running.

I guess I can always get it to work if I just stop the backuppc processes, unmount; then later mount, start the processes, and force it to run a backup "right now". 

But is there an easier or more elegant way to handle this? I mean, I'd lose all of backuppc's more involved scheduling intelligence with my naive way.

Thanks in advance!

Roger
