On my home desktop my backups are going to a 2TB usb drive. All good.
It's filling up, so I bought a 4TB usb one and have rsynced all data
on the same type of filesystem too (rsync -av --delete) but when I
mount it and restart BackupPC, nothing shows. Put the old drive back
and re-mount/restart and they are all there.
How are you mounting it? Unit file? /etc/fstab?
Permissions look ok on the drive and the mount point? How about selinux?
I generally label my partitions on my removable drives and use
/dev/disk/by-label in a mount script to mount drives I expect to swap
often. (I haven't done that with BackupPC but I do it with another
situation.)
My unit files:
----------------------------------------------------------------
# var-lib-BackupPC.mount
[Unit]
Description = External BackupPC media
[Mount]
What = LABEL=backuppc4
Where = /var/lib/BackupPC
Type = ext4
[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target
----------------------------------------------------------------
# var-lib-BackupPC.automount
[Unit]
Description = External BackupPC media automount
[Automount]
Where = /var/lib/BackupPC
[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target
