I posted a solution in the FedoraForum
Servers forum:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=283264
In summary, I edited
/usr/lib/systemd/system/backuppc.service
to start with the following block
[Unit]
Description= BackupPC server
After=syslog.target
remote-fs.target
the change being to add remote-fs.target to
the "After=" line, telling bakcuppc to wait until
remote file systems are loaded.

Sounds like backuppc is starting before the external disk has mounted

I am running
BackupPC.i686 3.2.1-7.fc17
and BackupPC does not load at boot. However, I can always get it
started manually with
systemctl start backuppc.service
I have issued the command
systemctl enable backuppc.service
so that backuppc should be starting at boot.
In the system log, I used to see the message
... Can't create a test hardlink between a file in /var/lib/BackupPC//pc
and /var/lib/BackupPC//cpool....
but I am not even seeing this any more.
My /var/lib/BackupPC is a soft-link to an external hard drive, which
supports hard links
(obviously, since I am able to start BackupPC, manually).
I did a test to have /var/lib/BackupPC as a plain directory, and then
BackupPC
started up properly at boot. It seems that BackupPC has a problem with
the external drive, even though it worked fine under Fedora 15. I moved the
mount line of the external drive in /etc/fstab to the top of /etc/fstab,
but that
did not help.
