did you change the $TopDIR entry in config.pl? I have found that the
mechanism for reporting disk usage requires than $TopDIR be
/var/lib/backuppc. its best to mount your target disk onto that
location. you can either mount it directly or mount it via bind, which
is what i do.
cp -Rp /var/lib/backuppc /data/backuppc
mv /var/lib/backuppc /var/lib/backuppc_original
mkdir -p /var/lib/backuppc
chown backuppc:backuppc /var/lib/backuppc
add to fstab
/data/backuppc /var/lib/backuppc none bind 0 0
mount -a
I find that the symlink just doesn't work 100%, but the mount (or mount
-o bind) works perfectly.
