yes, that would work. why not just mount your other disk on /var/lib/backuppc tho? (That's what I do). alternatively, if you want to consolidate this with other data on your other disk (and that's why you're avoiding createing a new partition for it); use a bind mount. consult 'man mount' the basic syntax is: mount --bind olddir newdir you can put this in your /etc/fstab file as well. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
