I think it must be a link to TopDir/log since in my understanding of the BackupPC codebase, references are relative to TopDir -- unless the distro decided to essentially rewrite tons of core code. My guess is the distro wanted to put a link under /var/log so that newbie users could find the log files even if they are not aware of the backuppc dir structure. _______________________________________________ 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/
