[BackupPC-users] Recovering after Hard Drive Failure

Hi All,

I been running BackupPC since 2007 and gotten good service over the years.

Recently, things started acting a bit strangely and now I understand that the hard drive was failing.

I have a new (and larger) hard drive installed. I has been a while since I last set up the system, so it has been slow going while I research my notes and try to remember.

I was running the archive drive as an LVM2 drive and mounted it at /var/lib/backuppc. I have set up the new drive, but cannot get it to mount. I am probably doing something wrong.

I pray that someone will see what I am doing wrong or failed to do.

Below is data from my system:
