My strong suggestion would be to do the following: 1) sudo apt-get --purge remove backuppc This will remove backuppc, all configs/etc, and get you ready to start with a clean slate. 2a) setup a bind mount (add to fstab) and actually mount it, so that /var/lib/backuppc is where your data will go. OR 2b) Create a symlink for /var/lib/backuppc -> /data02/backuppc or wherever you want it 3) apt-get install backuppc After that, you only need to worry about configuring backuppc like everybody else. Your life will be much easier, especially when asking for help, if your configuration is similar to a large number of other people. If you really want to fiddle and fine tune, then you will probably appreciate the choices you can make when installing from source. Generally, install from package will "just work", but if you get underneath it and fiddle too much, then it will come crashing down on you. Take small steps, one thing at a time, and you will get there. Sometimes it is frustrating to wait for each little step, but the end result will be worthwhile (or else none of us would be using backuppc and on this list)...
