i haven't been following this thread at all, so apologies if you tried it already, but there are a number of suggestions on how to change the top level directory at the wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net/change+archive+directory i am a noob and managed to do the one titled "Changing the name of the archive directory" without any trouble to my RAID0 array. As far as i can tell this would work for any pool location that supports hard links... good luck and ignore if this was already suggested. evets
