Thanks for your answer.
However, I try to install backuppc as root but it is still not possible to
"chown".
I can access the mounted disk as "root" or as any user. But not "chown".
Any ideas?
Can you point me in the right direction regarding the "no_root_squash"
option?
Is it used with the "mount" command?
Best regards,
Johan
