Your httpd.conf probably doesn't allow symlinks - but you have to know 
what you are doing to change SME server configs because they are always 
rewritten from the templates.  It might be easier to mount your drive 
under /opt/backuppc instead of using the symlink.  If you don't need to 
save the existing contents you could re-install with the disk in place. 
Otherwise, you could mv the directories under backuppc on the drive up a 
level so they work with the partition mounted as /opt/backuppc.
