I'm forwarding the questions to the list (It was a permission problem).

Hi Tino,
That did get me up and running.... if I may bother you for a couple more
questions, when I start the configuration page in the web browser it won't
let me save any changes.
I figure i have another permission setting wrong in the directory
/etc/backuppc. I have tried changing the owner to apache (the web server,
of course), but I still can not save changes.
Also, is it possible to only backup certain files / directories on samba
shares instead of the whole shared drive?
Thanks again for your help!

Here we are. Check the permissions of /drive2 and /drive2/backups -
/drive2 should probably have permissions 755 like this:
> ls -ld /drive2
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 232 2008-09-01 19:25 /drive2
-> The important thing ist the last "r-x" which allows any user to enter
the directory. If the permissions are drwxr-x---, only root and members
of root group may enter this directory (and any below).
The same applies for /drive2/backups (or whatever it's called exactly
for you).
HTH,
Tino.
