Copied or moved? If you unmount dataR6 do you still the the

mounting will mask any files left in the directory :) Symbolic links
should work but I've always preferred bind mounting.
If you log in as the backuppc user can you create files in
/var/lib/BackupPC?
# su -l backuppc -s /bin/bash
$ touch /var/lib/BackupPC/test
Or something like that. Also, look at both the BackupPC logs and the
apache logs.
Thanks,

So, I have realized that I could rebuild (again) and I will not be "out
much" but, what I would do differently this time is the installation
sequence.
Previously, I had installed the OS, installed BackupPC (it ran but
/var/lib/BackupPC was storing on the OS hdd and not the raid array.)
After I'd gotten BackupPC to run, then I created the raid array. My
problems began to mount.
This install, I would OS first, setup the array and create the symlink
and then, install BackupPC. The BackupPC install should simply follow
the symlink (think it is the /var/lib/BackupPC directory it's looking
for) and place backup files and directories onto the array, like I want.
I will need to change my install sequence and that should solve my
problem . . . I think.
(Learn as you go, sometimes.)
