Well either way it did not work. I had to force the user and group through
/etc/fstab to get the folders to have the user group permission set to
backuppc. This got the status page to load, but during backups it would crash
as i said in my first email. The logs showed they were owned by backuppc, but
maybe some read/write setting were not there? I'm not sure. I formatted the
drive and setup the USB drive to use ext3. I would of liked to use NTFS, but
eh oh well. If someone else has gotten it to work flawlessly on an ntfs
partition, then please let me know how.
Thank you!
