You should probably read this: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net/change+archive+directory > Now, each time a backup is trying to start for a host, i get this error > message on the logfile : > > "2009-03-16 17:31:25 Can't create a test hardlink between a file in > /var/lib/backuppc/pc/linuxsrv1 and /var/lib/backuppc/cpool.

The whole archive needs to be on the same filesystem. If you use a separate disk/partition it needs to be mounted or symlinked at the /var/lib/backuppc level. -- Les Mikesell [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
