And it is more of a packaging issue than a program problem. If you install
from
the sourceforge code you get your choice of locations. If you use a packaged
version someone else has made this choice for you. Since you normally want
the
archive on its own disk anyway, the simple approach would be to mount it at the
package TopDir location before installing the package, but if it is your first
install you probably won't know that yet.

Well it's a typical bootstrap problem. Where are you supposed to find
your configuration file if it's relative to ${TopDir}? Therefore
${TopDir} needs to be patched at certain places upon installation.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Compression Issue
I've changed the TopDir to /CLIENTBACKUPS.
pc and cpool directories are in there now.
I'm getting a bunch of errors like this on my PC clients:
2009-11-10 13:26:55 BackupPC_link got error -4 when calling MakeFileLink
Thanks,

There's nothing in my cpool directory.
Does that /CLIENTBACKUPS directory mean that you've changed the
location
of the cpool or did you do an install-from-tarball there? And are
your
logs full of "can't link" error messages?

[BackupPC-users] Compression Issue
It appears that I'm not getting any compression on my backups at least with my Windows clients. I think my mac clients are being compressed since it's actually stating a compression level in the host summary. I have the compression level set to 9. I have the Compress::Zlib perl library installed. ppo-backup:/home/heathy# perl -MCompress::Zlib -e "print \"Module installed.\\n\";" Module installed. Is there a secret to SMB compression?
