Hmmmmm - I've NEVER seen anything in either of those directories. I DID CHANGE $TOPDIR after the install (but, I THOUGHT before I had actually run BackupPC). If that's the issue, is there a way to recover from that?
I did try the links as the BackupPC user - I'll retry them tonight and also try the df -i. Thanks!
