Ok, I found the problem. Looks like my cpool is in the wrong place, apparently:
ln: creating hard link `/var/lib/backuppc/cpool/b/7/6/ b763efe12301fe7645e82fb46d53b4e3' to `/mnt/plump/backuppc/pc/ 192.168.0.8/10/attrib': Invalid cross-device link It looks like my cpool is in /var/lib/backuppc/cpool, but my backups are in /mnt/plump/backuppc. How do I change that? I thought everything was based on the topdir, which I've set to /mnt/plump/backuppc. *confused* -- Kimball On Feb 27, 2008, at 2:48 PM, Les Mikesell wrote: > Kimball Larsen wrote: >>>> Pool is used if you don't have compression enabled, cpool if you >>>> do.
