Hi guys. I was about to bind a second mount for my convenience in fstab for topdir. I then read man bind and learned about the danger of using bind because backup programs that access directories by name would therefore backup the same material twice! Unless you put an exclude in the rsync directive. Then it just gets unnecessarily complicated.
So Richard is not only right that a symbolic link for topdir is a good idea, but it is also the ONLY thing to do if someone wants to access the backup media through a name that he's used to. So I recommend a note in the manual or in the config.pl about this. Hope this helps, Bob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
