obviously I don't know what you did wrong, because you didn't mention what you did. You "reconfigured $TopDir"? Aha. "dpkg-reconfigure backuppc"? I had thought at this point it would be dead obvious without explicit mention that we need to know what you did in order to figure out in what way that was wrong. Then again, you don't seem to be interested in finding out, so why should I be? How I know it was wrong? Because it didn't work. It should. Quite simple. > > Wrong. /var/lib/backuppc is not even the default TopDir location. My point being: it most obviously works for different values of TOPDIR. > ok. Likely it is only a debian default ;-) I know you are running Debian and you know you are. Why not admit it in the first place? There's nothing bad about that. I run Debian too. Admitting this and other trivial and irrelevant details will make people actually be willing (and able) to help you. (Actually, you might as well be running Ubuntu or HP-UX. From the tar installer, you can set TOPDIR to /var/lib/backuppc anywhere.) On the other side, writing "I'm running a version of BackupPC, and I changed something. Now it doesn't work, so there's a bug in BackupPC" seems to be asking for sarcastic comments: > I started this thread because my backups did not have many reusable files > found. Fine. Now the world knows. Goal achieved. I prefer threads started by people looking for help. They tend to be more interesting. > Today I think that the error is not in BackupPC_link. We agree about that much of it.
