Re: [BackupPC-users] set-up question: how do I avoid "Cannot open: Permission denied" and "0 bytes"? Please help!

By the way, I think that the external hard drive issue might be a distraction. I get exactly the same errors when I don't connect the external hard drive and I instead try to backup to the /var/lib/backuppc directory on the internal disk.
Hope this helps, Loren

Hi Les, Hmm. Most recently, I first mounted it at /var/lib/backuppc and then did a fresh install. That way it automatically put on the cpool, log, pc, etcetera directories as it installed from synaptic. I think that's OK, as some pages recommended it and it seemed simpler than the symlink option. Should mounting it this way work?

Is it mounted or symlinked as /var/lib/backuppc as the packaged installs require?
