I do not recommend one solution or the other, both work. I prefer (2). The configuration is "easier to read" if you find the mount-point of file-systems directly under /. And, according to the man-pages, --bind is not obsolete, -o bind might be. This documentation comes with the kernel, I consider it "official Linux" documentation.
Thanks, I will change the group ownership of the topDir directory to root (and keep backuppc as owner - backuppc in fact does add directories, it added "pool" in addition to the already existing "cpool" and "pc" directories during the night after my original install). Indeed the wiki is the second place where I look for information - looks like that is part of the general problem of "how to find". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
