All,

 

Over the weekend we had a power outage and the servers all went down due to a faulty APC.  BackupPC will boot back up, but I cannot start the service.  I get the following error.

 

-- Unit backuppc.service has begun starting up.

I looked for a PID file in /var/run/BackupPC, but nothing is there.  I am assuming this is some leftover PID or SOCK file that needs to be renamed or removed.   Running ps -ax does not show any process running under pid 1289 or by the name BackupPC.

 

Any ideas?
