I tried running your configure.pl command with all the same arguments using an extracted BackupPC 4.4.0 tarball, except I added "--dest-dir test" so it will put all the output files below a subdirectory "test".

'/usr/local/etc/backuppc' : $confDir, # updated by configure.pl Craig On Mon, Oct 5, 2020 at 10:18 AM PGNet Dev <pgnet....@gmail.com> wrote: > On 10/5/20 9:57 AM, Craig Barratt wrote: > > Yes, the --config-dir option to configure.pl <http://configure.pl> > should override the fhs default of /etc/BackupPC. > > > > Assuming configure.pl <http://configure.pl> runs successfully, > > it _appears_ to ... > > no errors that i've _noticed_. > > all _other_ config items seem to be correctly picked up. > > backuppc functions normally. > > > it modifies lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm and replaces __CONFDIR__ (and also > __TOPDIR__, __INSTALLDIR__ etc) with whatever was configured.
