I'm trying to get this running and I've changed topDir in config.pl to point to
a directory on my USB drive, but backuppc complains bitterly and refuses to start.
This is the error:
2014-01-16 22:44:37 Can't create a test hardlink between a file in
/media/adam/WDPassport2T/backuppc/pc and
/media/adam/WDPassport2T/backuppc/cpool. Either these are different file
systems, or this file system doesn't support hardlinks, or these directories
don't exist, or there is a permissions problem, or the file system is out of
inodes or full. Use df, df -i, and ls -ld to check each of these possibilities.
Quitting...
I don't see what the problem is.
df

/media/adam/WDPassport2T/backuppc/pc
drwxr-x--- 2 backuppc backuppc 4096 Jan 9 2013
/media/adam/WDPassport2T/backuppc/pool
Or am I wrong?
I figure I've done something else wrong by moving these drives over from
/var/lib/backuppc - should I have moved the whole contents over and changed the
home directory setting?
Thanks

Yes, if the external disk is missing (or NFS not mounted properly), the
mount point will just point to your local disk, and BackupPC will fill
your disk to the max.
Create the subdirectories at the mount point, owned by root and not
writable. If the USB drive fails to mount, the backuppc user will be unable
to write to or create the subdirectories and fail immediately.
