Not sure I can help you with that one... I have never used CentOS and in
fact avoid it. I've been quite happy with Debian ever since RedHat 8 was
released :) Hopefully someone else with more experience could assist you.
Not that I think it can't work on centos, but why do you insist on using it?
Is there a pre-packaged version of backuppc available for centos? Even
if it is not the exact version you want, if you install it, you should
be able to see some of the config that is used/etc, and then try to copy
that to your manually installed version. Even if the packaged version is
not for centos, redhat versions might be equally useful. I recall using
rpmfind.net for this sort of thing. Since backuppc is written in perl,
generally, it shouldn't matter if you mix versions/etc, perl is
cross-platform, and perl scritps are generally compatible with multiple
(all) versions of perl.

Adam
