Hmm, more spam...ConfDir is only for the main config and "hosts" file,
not host's files. I may just scrap my current config and just have it
read all the per pc stuff from /etc/BackupPC/pc/. I'd prefer it
otherwise, but I'll probably waste more time any other way. Thanks for
your help Adam!

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the input! Setting the per-pc config info kicked
backuppc into generating a per-pc config file in /etc/backuppc like
you predicted. However, in changing the top directory I thought it
would look in /new_top_dir/pc/ for my host config files? Apologies
for the spam as it looks like this is a RTFM moment. I was looking
for the confDir option...however I'm still a bit confused as in my old
config (maybe an older version of backuppc?) used /etc/backuppc for
the server config files, and a different top dir for the host
configs. Either way, thanks for the help in navigating the CGI
interface, I'm not too hot with guis.
Thanks,
Bruce

Sorry for the spam but I found a bit more info. The ClientNameAlias
I set via the cgi interface found it's way into my
/etc/Backuppc/config.pl. Looks like it set it for my server, and not
my actual host. Backuppc user/group owns the directory my top
directory partition is mounted on, so I'm still confused. Thanks
for any help/ideas!
If your global config is in /etc/Backuppc/config.pl then your host
config should be in either:
/etc/Backuppc/hostname.pl or
/etc/Backuppc/pc/hostname.pl
Also, ensure from the web interface you select the hostname, and then
"Edit Config" in the top section of the menu (above the host
selection) when configuring a host. The web config will likely assist
you in finding the correct location to set your host specific config
file.
Regards,
Adam
