This is off the BackupPC topic; but for mobile computing/push-based backups,
we've been using Crashplan Pro (http://www.crashplan.com/). It's commercial,
but it's pretty good. It works much like BackupPC (I think it may use
DeltaSync on the back end) but is push-driven and has a nice GUI interface
Yes, I am modifying TopDir and LogDir and yes, I WAS running a pre-3.2
version of BackupPC. I just updated to 3.2.1 and this fixed the
problem. Links are now being created correctly in my cpool directory.
Problem solved, thanks.

Are you planning to mount the NFS share as the top of the backuppc

I am planning on mounting the share as the TopDir.
I'm going to start small and see where it fails, then deal with it.
This part sounds like it would be a lot simpler and way more effective to
