Should I run configure.pl to re-install backuppc and see if it works?
Also, if I re-install backuppc, will that delete the backups on the
backup dir (/data) or will that remain there?
I just want to make sure that my backups are not deleted if I

On the other hand, if you are just backing up home directories on two

This isn't quite what you asked for, but a much nicer way to do remote
administration is to run freenx on a stable 'inside' linux box where you
have ssh access, and use the NX client from
imo NX is overkill - a ssh tunnel to port 80 of the backuppc host is
sufficient...
An ssh tunnel is all you need to run NX - or port-forward your local
browser's connection.
don't forget the X window and NX daemon on the target host :)

the directory is hard coded, you can only change it at compile time.
The easiest solution is to bind mount /var/lib/backuppc to a directory
of your choice.
Isn't this set in config.pl file using $Conf{TopDir}.
good point - maybe I'm just outdated and stuck to 2.x :)

If that doesn't work with the version of Samba they ship

There is no need to exclude them from your backup, as BackupPC reading

usable when restored.
