Hi, I'll reply here, because I think the issue is visible here.

I'm not sure why, but I vaguely recall reports of linking problems related to softlinking the pool directory (though I'm not absolutely sure about the exact circumstances, hence "vaguely recall" ;-), though *in theory* it should work. I'd always prefer mounting the partition to /var/lib/backuppc instead of the softlink if you don't have a *very* good reason for requiring the pool to be mounted elsewhere. Like Tim, I also wouldn't bet my life on it, but I'm fairly sure you'll find large amounts of "BackupPC_link got error -4 when calling MakeFileLink" messages in your log files. Also note that at least for *rsync backups* files will be hardlinked to identical copies in previous backups even if pooling isn't working. Hope that helps, and wish I'd found the time yesterday, Regards, Holger ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
