I am obviously missing something very fundamental..
Changed Password (check) [sudu su - was the trick, then could run commands correctly]
Then the issue.. I went and and changed the TopDir setting and did the mv command.. Now the server isn't running. I tried to restart, no luck, tried to mv things back, no luck. I think my misunderstanding is the filesystem and mounts...
/dev/sda6 : mounted as root filesystem /dev/sda9 : mounted as /data01
/dev/sda1 : mounted as /home (don't think that matters in this case)
I did NOT try to restart the apache2 service.
Error: Unable to connect to BackupPC server This CGI script (/backuppc/index.cgi) is unable to connect to the BackupPC server on TAS-Server port -1.
The error was: unix connect: Connection refused.
Perhaps the BackupPC server is not running or there is a configuration error. Please report this to your Sys Admin. This is the error when I restart the service
travis@TAS-Server:~$ sudo service backuppc restart [sudo] password for travis: * Restarting backuppc... No process in pidfile '/var/run/backuppc/BackupPC.pid' found running; none killed.

2013-01-05 09:12:51 Can't create a test hardlink between a file in /var/lib/backuppc/pc and /var/lib/backuppc/cpool. Either these are different file systems, or this file system doesn't support hardlinks, or these directories don't exist, or there is a permissions problem, or the file system is out of inodes or full. Use df, df -i, and ls -ld to check each of these possibilities. Quitting...
So, I think the mv must be the issue and it didn't like something... When I tried to move it back, I got an error on the log directory.
I have seen the one page about moving and copying, but some parts are not making sense, I think it must be due to some links.
I don't want to uninstall and reinstall it all, as I want to understand how to do this correctly. Maybe that is easiest and then go from there.

user owning all the files so the server can access them and apache
also having access so things work through the web interface. You can
add additional web logins (not necessarily system users) that match
owners specified in the backuppc hosts file to control who can see
which targets. And you need to understand su and sudo well enough to
execute commands as the backuppc user for testing and running the
'ssh-copy-id' command anyway.

Pretty much everything can be specified in the global config if all of
your hosts are identical. But, any settings made per-host will
override them for that target. If some, but not all hosts are
similar, get one configured correctly, then use the new=old syntax
when you add the others in the web interface (edit hosts) and it will
copy all of the per-host settings to the new one.
