move the contents of /var/lib/backuppc (or whereever your data pool is) to the new drive, and then mount the new drive on /var/lib/backuppc. It's a very good idea to have your data on a separate drive from the OS. At the very least, use a separate partition on disk. also, I would suggest using LVM on the data partition/disk. this will allow you to add space much more easily in the future; or move your data to another disk. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
