Our BackupPC was installed via source. I tried to mkdir /data/BackupPC/pc/test and got permission denied. The full backup that is taking 4 days to complete is only 69Gigs/230k files, using tar, and the systems do not seem to be working very hard.

I do not recommend one solution or the other, both work. I prefer (2). The configuration is easier to read if you find the mount-point of file-systems directly under /. And, according to the man-pages, --bind is not obsolete, -o bind might be. This documentation comes with the kernel, I

It is not generally recommended to change the $TopDIR logical but on Debian it is not really even doable. Debian and Ubuntu have $TopDIR hardcoded to /var/lib/backuppc, just mount your target their either by directly mounting it or using bind. mount -o bind /target /var/lib/backuppc fstab
