This is how I moved backuppc home directory on my ubuntu 2.x system, as root: /etc/init.d/backuppc stop mkdir /backup/backuppc chown backuppc.backuppc /backup/backuppc cd /var/lib/backuppc;tar cf - . | (cd /opt/backuppc;tar xvf - ) cd .. mv /var/lib/backuppc /var/lib/backuppc.save ln -s /var/lib/backuppc /backup/backuppc /etc/init.d/backuppc start
/backup is on a large additional drive/array. then later after remove /var/lib/backuppc.save once you like what you see. Yes, it is a little over simplified, but that is the basics of what I did to move the backuppc home directory. But this worked for me.
