Sorry to need such hand-holding, but if I'm above my TOPDIR and execute
chown -R backuppc TOPDIR
chgrp -R www-data TOPDIR
chmod 644 TOPDIR
should that be OK?
Anyone with suggestions for improvement would be most welcome
And what if my CONF and LOG folders are included there as well?
The above is what I was doing when resetting log and pc during my testing.

Should I run the start/stop with su backuppc instead?
------------------------
I've now tried to uninstall/re-install twice times without success.
Apparently the failure of the hardlink test during the postinstall also
prevented the creation of the default config.pl and hosts files.
This time I'm planning to delete the backuppc user as well as:
/var/lib/backuppc
/etc/backuppc
/var/log/backuppc
/usr/share/backuppc
I'm not going to do anything different with the filesystem until I get the
default install working first, but I'd really rather not have to re-install
the server platform OS itself. . .
is there **anything** else I should do to ensure a "clean" system state
before re-installing BackupPC?
