I used to have exactly this problem. I guess you changed TopDir in your config.pl file, right? Well, BackupPC 3.1.0 has a bug in that TopDir change will not affect the "pool" and "cpool" directories, so it will try to create a hardlink in /var/lib/BackupPC for a file in /media/disk, which are in different filesystems, so it fails. See this post for a patch that can be used to fix this issue: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=20080808032558.GG13869%40gratch.parplies.de Alternatively, you may remove the /var/lib/BackupPC directory and create a symbolic link to /media/disk in its place. You can also upgrade your setup to 3.2.0 beta, which has this bug already fixed.
