Hi there, me again.

I have several machines I would like to backup with BackupPC, but the 
server is a humble box with several installed hard discs -- nothing fancy.

I need to backup each client machine to a different hard drive on the 
server.  I have one client configured and it tries to backup my 16 GB of 
data, but fails because TopDir is configured for /var/lib/bacuppc in my 
/etc/backuppc/config.pl file and there simply isn't enough room for the 
data there.  My reading of the docs says that I should be able to 
configure TopDir in the client.pl file under 
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/<client>/<client>.pl.  I have done this:

# cat /var/lib/backuppc/pc/<client>/<client>.pl
$Conf{TopDir} = '/mnt/attic/spike_images';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/floppy'];
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/mnt/spike/images', '/mnt/spike/photos'];
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = '192.168.xxx.xxx';

But it doesn't seem to make any difference. How can I set a TopDir per pc?

Thanks.

What I want to find out is -- do parrots know much about Astro-Turf?
