Thanks, Richard.
OK, got it. Don't want to futz with symbolic links. I'll change fstab
to mount the RAID in the approved directory.
Why wouldn't this be fixed, though, if we run the configure script with
a new topdir?

Guys
I installed backuppc into my Fedora 26 using, simply "dnf install
BackupPC"
I found that the main files have been placed in /etc/BackupPC/
So I started working my way through editing config.pl
<http://config.pl> (after making a
backup, of course). At some point I learned that it is not a good
idea to
change the topdir location without adding some kind of symbolic link
(which I did not want to do) or re-running configure.pl
<http://configure.pl> (the install
script).
You can use a symbolic link or bind in /etc/fstab. It's not a good
idea to change it because Fedora runs with SELinux enabled by default
and there are specific policies applied for the package to allow
BackupPC to work. If you really can't use /var/lib/backuppc as the
backup directory you'll have to disable SELinux.
So I searched for configure.pl <http://configure.pl> and could not
find it anywhere on my
system. Maybe it's no longer necessary? But rerunning the install says
"nothing to do" so I guess configure.pl <http://configure.pl> is
still necessary.
configure.pl <http://configure.pl> will not be available because the
package comes pre-configured, configure.pl <http://configure.pl> will
not run outside of the full source archive.
