Here's a more "updated" (but not really recent) version of the CentOS HowTo:

(Credit to Max Hetrick for writing both original and updated versions, and
Sorin Srbu for currently hosting - did this ever make it to the wiki?)
Also, see the note about 64-bit CentOS below (but you might be better off
going Richard's way):
Personal notes and gotcha's
>
> - When installing BackupPC (BPC) using the C5-Testing repo, the default
> installation location will be in /var/lib/backuppc. This is also where the
> backup-files will be stored. It is likely you won't have the space to store
> the backup data on the main system harddrive, or you may feel this is not
> appropriate. So, if you like me have a separate raid-array for storing the
> backup data, the files and folders from /var/lib/backuppc need to be moved
> to this new location. It's easiest to take care of this *before* you
> start the actual backups (less data to move around).
>
> - Assuming raid array is mounted on /bak.
> - Move the contents of /var/lib/backuppc to a suitable place.
> - Remove the backuppc-folder.
> # rmdir /var/lib/backuppc
> # cd /var/lib
> # ln -s /bak backuppc
> - Move the contents to /bak.
>
> - With CentOS v5.x the documentation-links in the web-GUI aren't in
> the expected location. Solve this by following the procedure outlined
> below.

> # cd /usr
> # ln -s /usr/share/backuppc/html/doc doc
