The ubuntu package should create a backuppc user and that should be the owner of everything under TOPDIR. I think you need to diagnose why the link fails but trying the same operation from the shell (su -s /bin/bash backuppc if it doesn't have a shell configure for login). I think you are making things too complicate with a bunch of bind mounts. Why not just mount the partition as /var/lib/backuppc and if you want it to be self-contained, symlink other stuff there? -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
