Instead of modifying the package, you can simply create some symlinks so the logs and configuration are stored on the data disk: Before installing the rpm (and after having mounted the dedicated partition in /var/lib/BackupPC), just do: mkdir -p /var/lib/BackupPC/{etc,log} ln -s /var/lib/BackupPC/etc /etc/BackupPC ln -s /var/lib/BackupPC/log /var/log/BackupPC I do this on a lot of servers so I can simply take the disk off one server, and plug into another, and the data+config are immediately available. I don't use this rpm but the one in the EPEL repo on Centos 4 based system (SME Server). I think it'll work the same way with this one. Cheers, Daniel > -- Daniel Berteaud FIREWALL-SERVICES SARL.
