I don't think this is really a backuppc issue, but anyway:

First of all, read http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/index.html

Then, you can add the physycal volume and create a logical volume
(backuppc) on it.

At the end you can add something like this to your /etc/fstab

/dev/vg/backuppc        /var/lib/backuppc       ext3    defaults
0     0

Maybe a symlink to the mount point would also work.

Eduardo.

PD: You don't have to use lvm for backuppc (you could change the fstab
line above to use directly the device).  But I think it's a good idea to
have backuppc put its files on lvm.
