I don't think I did, although I might have accidentally during my
initial tries to install backuppc. What I did do, though, is delete
the pool once - after the pool grew much too big.

But since all other efforts did not lead to success, yet, I am more
than willing trying to fix this. So if we just assume that I moved my
topdir incorrectly - how could I fix this?

Thanks, Christian
