[BackupPC-users] Change Archive Directory
2009-06-04 00:34:36
I am trying to understand this subject heading so that I can
correct my backup archive. I have been running backuppc for
over a year now and the backed up data appears to be good. I
have done individual file restores without issues. What I am
not seeing is any pooled data. I am using the Fedora
distribution (10) binary of Backuppc. When I originally set
up the archive directory I pointed it to an external usb
disk that is mounted in a location that is not in the
original "topdir" path. The disk is persistently mounted on
reboot via fstab. I changed the "topdir" path in the config
file to match the archive location backuppc still uses
/var/lib/backuppc/ for the backuppc user home directory
which contains the .ssh/ directory etc...
#fstab mount point
LABEL=/backupdisk /data/bilbo/backup ext3 defaults 0 0
#/etc/Backuppc/config.pl
$Conf{TopDir} = '/data/bilbo/backup/BackupPC';
So if I understand the Wiki topic 'Change Archive Directory'
I need to somehow mount the archive directory with the bind
option to mount, but getting there from where I am is a
little bit confusing.
Just to add some context this is a home network of 3
computers, a server, a workstation and a laptop. The total
compressed full backup of these three boxes is around 30Gig.
I rotate 4 60gig usb disks once a week and at the end of the
month I reinsert the first disk and start again.
So how do I set the bind mount point given the current mount
location? Will that make it possible for the hardlinks to be
established?
