This is an FYI. I suspect this is an artifact of the Fedora RPM packaging
of 3.2.1 or possibly my earlier installation of 3.0.0 from a CentOS RPM. If
so, perhaps a comment in config.pl would be good to indicate whether paths
should be slash-terminated. (Apparently they should NOT be
slash-terminated.)
The check for the argument being a subdirectory of TopDir doesn't handle
the case of TopDir terminated with a slash:
$Conf{TopDir} = '/var/lib/BackupPC/';
The result is this mysterious error message:
Argument /var/lib/BackupPC/pc must be an absolute path starting with
/var/lib/BackupPC/
I'd have to use two slashes for the argument:
$ /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_tarPCCopy /var/lib/BackupPC//pc | tar
xvPf -
And this blows up a bit later matching the TopDir path to subdirectories.
After removing the trailing slash from TopDir in config.pl I still get this
warning:
Can't extract TopDir (/var/lib/BackupPC) from /var/lib/BackupPC/pc
