What would be an even better idea would be to grab a spare PC (or

Well the whole thing is a test system, and I'm not that concerned with figuring out what went wrong vs moving forward, so I guess I'll just wipe and restart with a clean OS.
Since I want to use the BackupPC 3.1 package (eventual production system will be on CentOS5), while I'm at it I'll use the Ubuntu version it's designed for, Lucid 10.04, rather than the latest Natty 11.04.
Hopefully will eliminate the problems I'm seeing un/re- installing from the package system.
I plan to keep the pool folders and of course my long-tweaked
config.pl, but will start off from the clean install with as close to defaults as possible with a small static target share to test with, then make the changes a little at a time only after I've got the basics working right.
Which as you say I should've done from the start. . .
In the meantime there are a few unanswered questions in the thread above if anyone has the information to ontribute more detailed responses I'm sure it will help others googling later on. . .
