Yes! There are lots of these: 2008-02-08 22:41:53 BackupPC_link got error -4 when calling MakeFileLink(/home/BackupPC//pc/jane/12/fC$/fWINNT/fsystem32/fReinstallBackups/fPCI#VEN_10DE&DEV_0110&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_B2#4&102AC5BC&0&00F0/f0000/fDriverFiles/fnvwrshu.dll, 4a830141464d56a423b1adf6c3462850, 1) >The obvious things to check are that the cpool and pc directories are on >the same filesystem and writable by the backuppc user, Ah. I think I'm missing the "pool" directory -- the rpm created cpool, pc, pool, and trash in /var/lib, but I'm doing backups onto the /home partition, where I just have cpool, pc, and trash. (TopDir is /home/BackupPC.) Oops. I wonder if BackupPC could be changed so that it goes ahead ahead and create the directories that it needs, though, rather than just obliviously growing the archive. For the record, I've got plenty of inodes, 40+G of free diskspace (with just one BackupPC full backup), and selinux is in permissive mode. Now that I've created pool in the proper place, I'm going to delete my backed-up data and try running two full backups again. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for the help!
