I don't know what OS you are running backuppc on, but, at least on fedora, the auto-startup of backuppc may need some help, by editing
/usr/lib/systemd/system/backuppc.service(more details of this "bug" in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=959309)
In a nutshell, on the "After=" line, add the service(s) that you need backuppc to wait for. In my case, it is httpd.service. On my previous installation, I needed to add remote-fs.target

Hi all, I just installed a new 1TB drive and partitioned it into 2 500GB partitions. I have a Debian Wheezy system. One of the partitions is mounted /media/backuppc. This partition contains a directory /backuppc The program resides on another disk drive along with the OS. I pointed backuppc's TopDir to /media/backuppc/backuppc. Upon boot, BackupPC doesn't start and puts entries in the /var/log/backuppc of: /bin/df: " /var/lib/backuppc": No such file or directory (Well yes, I removed it So why is it still around?) /bin/dif: no file systems processed. It would appear that the hard disk is not mounted before backuppc runs df. Since all of the disks (including the boot disk) are started by fstab, this doesn't make sense. Also where did /var/lib/backuppc come from. This was the old setup. Please help Gary RWe'll start with the fact that you can't just change TopDir and expect everything to work (it won't, see the archives for details) -- but you can put it back the way it was and create a symbolic link from /var/lib/backuppc to wherever you want the files to be. Given that, you're unlikely to be correct about BackupPC being started before your hard drive is mounted, especially since the error is pretty clear about where it's looking for the directory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform delivers complete security visibility with the essential security capabilities.
