Is hard link the same as symbolic link?
No. There are two types of links that you can create using the ln command: hard and symbolic (soft) links. See 'man ln'.
I already setup a symbolic link to the NTFS drive and it works fine.
That's because the link is not on the NTFS file system, but only pointing to an NTFS file system.
Backuppc will start and it will start doing backups to the ntfs drive, till i get those log errors. I had Backuppc 2.1 backingup/ restoring to/from a NTFS drive just fine.
You can backup NTFS drives and restore files to them, but you cannot use NTFS as the file system to store your BackupPC pool.
If NTFS is not going to work, is ext3 the best choice for the partition on my usb drives?
I might be confused. Are you backing those drives or are you storing your BackupPC pool on those drives (backing up *to* those drives)? I use ext3 myself because it's the CentOS 'native' file system, but other file systems that support hardlinks (Reiser, etc.) will also work.
