did you change the $TopDIR entry in config.pl? I have found that the mechanism for reporting disk usage requires than $TopDIR be /var/lib/backuppc. its best to mount your target disk onto that location. you can either mount it directly or mount it via bind, which is what i do.
cp -Rp /var/lib/backuppc /data/backuppc mv /var/lib/backuppc /var/lib/backuppc_original mkdir -p /var/lib/backuppc chown backuppc:backuppc /var/lib/backuppc add to fstab /data/backuppc /var/lib/backuppc none bind 0 0 mount -a I find that the symlink just doesn't work 100%, but the mount (or mount -o bind) works perfectly.
