I did something inexplicable last week and managed to change ownership
on all the files on my backup server to "apache". That caused trouble.
I think I've got the trouble sorted except for this one last thing.
BackupPC_link has started to throw error -4.

Initial backups on the new server would take longer than what you're seeing
with the established server which only needs to do changes after having
done the initial full. Your new server has already done the initial
backups of your host and it's the subsequent backups that are taking so
long?

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.

The configuration is "easier to read" if you find the mount-point of

Hi There,
I'm currently using backuppc to back up 1.2 TB of data on host called
turbotHOST using the rsyncd sitting on a linux box. The great news is
that the backup completes and I can browse it, but looking in the status
of the server. It displays that the job is running evening after a day,
It is not generally recommended to change the $TopDIR logical but on
Debian it is not really even doable. Debian and Ubuntu have $TopDIR
