Well, I'll work on remote access later. Now that I have BackupPC working on the system in the original distribution file setup, I am ready to change the storage location to a large hard disk just for archiving. I stopped BackupPC and removed the client definition. I then removed the /var/lib/BackupPC directory and all sub trees. Next, I created a LVM for the 500 GB disk and mounted it as /var/lib/BackupPC and created the directories: cpool pool pc trash .ssh (containing my ssh keys)
When I thought I had everything back like it needed to be, I rebooted and verified service BackupPC started with no errors. Next I logged into BackupPC. I am getting a SELinux AVC error "SELinux is preventing nm-system-setti (NetworkManager_t) "read" to ./PolicyKit (hald_var_lib_t). It also said "You could try to restore the default system file context for ./PolicyKit, restorecon -v './PolicyKit' I ran this as root and got the following response: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# restorecon -v './PolicyKit' restorecon: stat error on ./PolicyKit: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# restorecon -v './PolicyKit(hald_var_lib_t)' restorecon: stat error on ./PolicyKit(hald_var_lib_t): No such file or directory Below is my resulting disk structure when adding the 500 GB hd (/dev/sdc). See if you see where this novice user failed to follow standard Linux procedure.
