Hi Miles,
I had it in /etc/BackupPC/ and had the same problem. By the way, you
can't just change that setting in the main config.pl file, you also have
to change it in the Lib.pm file. I moved it to /store/backuppc/data/conf
because in the config instructions it says:
"As a configuration variable $Conf{SmbSharePasswd}
<http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#item__conf_smbsharepasswd_>
in the per-PC configuration file (__CONFDIR__/pc/$host.pl or
__TOPDIR__/pc/$host/config.pl in non-FHS versions of BackupPC)."
So I wanted to put the config file in the __TOPDIR__ rather than moving
all of my backups. I thought this would help but it did not. I have the
file settings the same on each config file. If you think it will help, I
can move the config setup back to /etc/BackupPC, but I don't think it
will make a difference. I'm wondering what a "non-FHS version" of
BackupPC is.
Thanks for your quick reply.
