Here are the steps I took, straight from my bash history: 313 yum update 314 yum install backuppc 315 mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1 316 mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb/ 317 vi /etc/BackupPC/config.pl
# I changed the line $Conf{TopDir} = '/var/lib/BackupPC/'; # to $Conf{TopDir} = '/mnt/usb/BackupPC/'; 318 cd /var/lib/ 319 mv BackupPC /mnt/usb/ 320 vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf 321 htpasswd -c /etc/BackupPC/apache.users waynea 322 chkconfig backuppc on 323 service backuppc restart 324 service httpd restart 325 cat /var/log/messages At this point I went to the web inerface added my host and started backing up. It is my understanding that mv preserves hardlinks so this should have worked. Just as a general understanding of how BackupPC works in a normal scenario what hard links are created during the initial install? Is cpool or pool a hardlink to pc? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
