Re: [BackupPC-users] Backuppc Data Directory

[Matt M. <mm...@so...>]

Symlinks are the way to go.
I have backuppc running on Debian Sarge and followed the instructions
from /usr/share/doc/backuppc/README.Debian

If you do not like the default data directory (/var/lib/backuppc/), you
should move this directory where you want and make a symbolic link from
the new directory to the default one (all paths are hardcoded so it's
the easiest way to change the data directory).
