This was one of the errors I was running into last night trying to set
it up. I mounted a CIFS share on a Windows machine with and NTFS
filesystem. I was able to read and write and changed the top directory
of Backup PC from /var/lib/backuppc. UID and GID were both set to
backuppc for the folder I was wanting to backup to. The BackupPC service
would not start. Not a huge problem in my case because I'll just format
the drive to something that utilizes hard links better than NTFS. Check
this out:
