Hi guys. I was about to bind a second mount for my convenience in fstab
for topdir. I then read man bind and learned about the danger of using
bind because backup programs that access directories by name would
therefore backup the same material twice! Unless you put an exclude in the
rsync directive. Then it just gets unnecessarily complicated.

So Richard is not only right that a symbolic link for topdir is a good
idea, but it is also the ONLY thing to do if someone wants to access the
backup media through a name that he's used to.

So I recommend a note in the manual or in the config.pl about this.

Hope this helps,


Bob
