On my debian system, all I did was to shut down backuppc, bring up the second file system, mount it somewhere temporarily, move all the data from /var/lib/backuppc over to it, then unmount and remount the second file system to /var/lib/backuppc and voila, I had all the data on a separate drive. Make it all permanent in fstab and restart backuppc and you should be good to go.
Works fine as long as you're dedicating a partion/disk/volume to BackupPC. -Ken On Tue, 2006-03-07 at 21:58 +0000, Chris Willard wrote: > Hi, > > I have just installed BackupPC on my Debian system using the package > manager.
