Guys I installed backuppc into my Fedora 26 using, simply "dnf install BackupPC"
I found that the main files have been placed in /etc/BackupPC/ So I started working my way through editing config.pl (after making a backup, of course). At some point I learned that it is not a good idea to change the topdir location without adding some kind of symbolic link (which I did not want to do) or re-running configure.pl (the install script). So I searched for configure.pl and could not find it anywhere on my system. Maybe it's no longer necessary? But rerunning the install says "nothing to do" so I guess configure.pl is still necessary. So I downloaded the source for configure.pl from an online repository and tried to run it, but it said "You need to run makeDist first to create a tarball release that includes an updated configure.pl. After you unpack the tarball, run configure.pl from there." And I knew I was in over my head. So I'll continue editing config.pl, but would like to know how to run configure.pl to keep the app in sync with the master variables when I change them. If that's what I have to do ;-).
