Actually, not quite, any of the following should work: 1) mkdir /media/backups;chown backuppc.backuppc /media/backups;mv /var/lib/backuppc/* /media/backups/;ln -s /media/backups /var/lib/backuppc This will put the pool, pc, etc dirs onto /media/backups, and then symlink /var/lib/backuppc to /media/backups. This should work, without needing to modify TopDir/etc... put them all back as they were. Just be careful when upgrading the package it doesn't remove the symlink in the future. 2) http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount [quote] Since Linux 2.4.0 it is possible to remount part of the file hierarchy somewhere else. The call is mount --bind olddir newdir In your case: "mount --bind /media/backups /var/lib/backuppc" I'm sure there are other methods as well, just search the mailing list, the wiki, etc for TopDir.... Hope that helps.
