I just installed Backuppc 3.0 for the first time. I was using Backuppc 2.1 and decide to try out the newer version. I'm having a few problems that hopefully someone can please help me with.

I have an Ubuntu Feisty server setup that is running Backuppc 3.0. I installed with a .deb package of 3.0. Now I setup a symbolic link of /var/lib/backuppc to a USB drive and want to swap out drives every day. Now this was working perfectly in 2.1, but with 3.0 I got errors on the status web page saying it could not find files. So I figured it had to do with permissions. So I edited my /etc/fstab and added this..

/dev/sdb1 /media/usbdrive ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8,uid=107,gid=112,auto 0 0

Which set permissions on that drive for user and group backuppc by user id, uid=107,gid=112. Oh and the USB drive has NTFS on it and I'm using ntfs-3g to get linux to write to the drive.

NTFS won't work. BackupPC needs a file system that supports hard links.
