When you install backuppc initially, you get your choice of install
location. If you are using a packaged version, this may already have
been done for you. You can't change the location afterwards because
some substitutions are done into the code during the install process.

It is a fairly common topic hear - mostly from people with the
debian/ubuntu packaged versions.

I doesn't matter if you use a mount or symlink, but it has to be to the
top of the original install location - that is the directory above cpool
and pc, so everything can still be accessed through the original paths
and the cpool and pc directories are on the same (new) filesystem.
