This is how I set up all my BackupPC servers. I use Debian, and mount
a second disk as "/data".
mkdir /data
/etc/init.d/backuppc stop
cp -a /var/lib/backuppc /data
rm -r /var/lib/backuppc
ln -s /data/backuppc /var/lib/backuppc
/etc/init.d/backuppc start

Hello,
I also are thinking of moving the backuppc storage and have read
about the new mount. I have backuppc installed, so what should be
the work process here?
1. Backup /var/lib/backuppc with tar
2. Delete /var/lib/backuppc
3. Mount the new disk at /var/lib/backuppc
4. Restore the tar'ed backup at /var/lib/backuppc
Would that be correct?
Best regards

I also HIGHLY suggest mounting the external disk to /var/lib/
backuppc. either than or make /var/lib/backuppc a link to the
mountpoint for that disk. I have had problems with changing the
$TopDIR and so have a number of other people. sometimes everything
works except backuppc work report correct disk usage and stuff like
that.

Under Ubuntu it's default under "/etc/backuppc/config.pl"
The rest of it is under "/usr/share/backuppc/"
