I am running
BackupPC.i686                        3.2.1-7.fc17

and BackupPC does not load at boot.  However, I can always get it 
started manually with

systemctl start backuppc.service

I have issued the command

systemctl enable backuppc.service

so that backuppc should be starting at boot.
In the system log, I used to see the message

... Can't create a test hardlink between a file in /var/lib/BackupPC//pc 
and /var/lib/BackupPC//cpool....

but I am not even seeing this any more.

My /var/lib/BackupPC is a soft-link to an external hard drive, which 
supports hard links
(obviously, since I am able to start BackupPC, manually).

I did a test to have /var/lib/BackupPC as a plain directory, and then 
BackupPC
started up properly at boot.  It seems that BackupPC has a problem with
the external drive, even though it worked fine under Fedora 15.  I moved the
mount line of the external drive in /etc/fstab to the top of /etc/fstab, 
but that
did not help.
