I am running BackupPC.i686 3.2.1-7.fc17 and BackupPC does not load at boot. However, I can always get it started manually with
systemctl start backuppc.service I have issued the command systemctl enable backuppc.service so that backuppc should be starting at boot. In the system log, I used to see the message ... Can't create a test hardlink between a file in /var/lib/BackupPC//pc and /var/lib/BackupPC//cpool.... but I am not even seeing this any more. My /var/lib/BackupPC is a soft-link to an external hard drive, which supports hard links (obviously, since I am able to start BackupPC, manually). I did a test to have /var/lib/BackupPC as a plain directory, and then BackupPC started up properly at boot. It seems that BackupPC has a problem with the external drive, even though it worked fine under Fedora 15. I moved the mount line of the external drive in /etc/fstab to the top of /etc/fstab, but that did not help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
