Im currently running a backup now, and all is well so far. I will keep and eye out for any errors in the logs. Is the Archive space where the backups are stored? There is also a 'archive' option with backupPC but I think this involves backing up to tape device. thank ---

You should be able to use fstab to do this also.  I did for a 1TB WD drive that sounds very similar and I had the same problem with permissions.  Putting a line in fstab and using cifs with uid and gid = backuppc did the trick.In my case, this WD drive is painfully slow and only backs up at a rate
