Thanks Jan for your answer.

The command ""systemctl status backuppc.service" give this :

<  ● backuppc.service - LSB: Launch backuppc server

And "journalctl -xe" :

As I wasn't able to install "jdupes", I couldn't use it. Sorry, I'm not an IT's expert.

Thanks for the support,

These two commands could give some clues:
"systemctl status backuppc.service" and "journalctl -xe"

However, I think, hardlinking of BackupPC is key here. You need to use -H with rsync to preserve hardlinks, which BackupPC creates.
An option, which might help now and prevent another copying of the pool, is using "jdupes" (https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes) to restore the hradlinks in pool.

I use the Backuppc 's version 3.3.1-2ubuntu3.1 with Ubuntu 16.04
I want change the storage place from /var/lib/backuppc (sdb) to /media/edith/Disque640Go/backuppc (sda).

I used this method :

sudo service backuppc stop
sudo mkdir /media/edith/Disque640Go/backuppc/
sudo rsync -va /var/lib/backuppc /media/edith/Disque640Go/
sudo mv /var/lib/backuppc /var/lib/backuppc_origine
sudo ln -s /media/edith/Disque640Go/backuppc /var/lib/backuppc
sudo chown -h backuppc:backuppc /var/lib/backuppc
sudo service backuppc start

And I have this result : Job for backuppc.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status backuppc.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.


Before I used Backuppc with Ubuntu 14.04 and 12.04, and it was perfect.
Why can't I use now ? What's the problem ?

Someone could help me ?
