that seems to rule out some things that spring to mind (like missing or incorrect configuration files in /etc/backuppc ...). Hmm, or does it? What do you mean by "run BackupPC"? Do the BackupPC installations on source and destination machine agree on where the configuration is stored, and did you copy it? I believe it is (or used to be) possible to store the configuration below $TopDir/conf (which would be copied along with "the pool" without much thought), but package installations seem to prefer locations below /etc (and I agree with them), which you would have to copy separately. Well, missing that *would* explain what you are seeing ;-). > [...] > Another attempt, using dd, did result in a mountable partition, which I > converted to ext4.
