Hi Jiahwei, As you can see, you have a problem with a hardlink. The default location for BachpPC data pool is /var/lib/BackupPC. I guess you tried to change this location to another one, by setting a hard link. I tried this myself, and it failed. Whad I did, is to mount an external storage under /backup, copied the content of /var/lib/BackupPC inside (with the same owner, backuppc, and rights), and change the configuration in /etc/BackupPC/config.pl :
#$Conf{TopDir} = '/var/lib/BackupPC/'; $Conf{TopDir} = '/backup'; Hope this helps.
