Not all Linux installations support LVM - oh yeah, I forgot, you
consider a consumer-NAS to be a "fringe" case.

What if you want to move your old data?

So please enlighten me on how you back up your BackupPC pool without
copying everything else on the filesystem.
But I agree - if you never want to just copy or move your old Backuppc
data (including all your old data and without copying everything else
on the partition) then there is no problem - but then again that was
the whole point of this thread!!
But if you want to change the question to I have no need to move or
copy my Backuppc pool then obviously you have no need for any of the
solutions discussed.
