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
Joacim

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/"
