I have just spun up a new instance of BackupPC and am wanting to backup my new FreeNAS to my old QNAP. I have NFS setup and the location on the QNAP mounted to /mnt/backups. How do I create a symlink to direct the backups to the NFS mount?
I thought I had done this but it ended up being backwards and filling up my disk. I've also tried moving the PC folder and creating the symlink from /var/lib/backuppc/pc to /mnt/backups/backuppc/pc but this broke the service with the following error (Unfortunately, it seems as though journalctl -xe and systemctl are not word wrapping but the jist of the error is as follows:) Nov 02 15:28:46 bdr01 backuppc[929]: Starting backuppc...2020-11-02 15:28:46 Can't create a test hardlink between a file in /var/lib/backuppc/pc and /var/lib/backuppc/cpool. Either these are different file systems, or this file system Nov 02 15:28:46 bdr01 systemd[1]: backuppc.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE I also tried moving the entire backuppc directory and creating a symlink between /var/lib/backuppc to /mnt/backups/backuppc but this also gave the above error. How do I properly direct the backups to a different location? _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
