[BackupPC-users] How to get the archive on a usb-disk

[Niclas E. <ni...@si...>]

Hi

I would like to have BackupPc to backup my workstation on a remowable
USB-disk. I'm running Ubuntu 6.10 64-bit edition.

I have changed in /etc/backuppc/localhost.pl to:

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
$Conf{TarShareName} = ['/home'];

And that backups my home-directory to /var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost,
and my backups get browseble through the web-interface.

Now I would like to get the archive to my USB-disk instead. I have tried
to change 

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar'; 
to 

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'archive'; 

in localhost.pl, and set 

$Conf{ArchiveDest} = '/media/My\ Book'; (the disk gets mounted in /media
as My Book)

in /etc/backuppc/configure.pl, and adjusted the permissions to 777. 
I'm not sure if it's proper to write /media/My\ Book, but I have tried
anything that I can think of.

In the web-interface I get the option to create an archive on localhost,
with the path I have specified i $Conf{ArchiveDest}. Every time I try I
get an error that eighter the file already exists Backuppc_ArchiveHosts
on line 100, or that the permission was denied to create the tar archive
in /media/My\ Book.

I have tried to run the tar-program with sudo, and added backuppc in
visudo to let backuppc run tar as root without a password. Like in a tip
I read in the docs.

I have read the documentation and searched the web for hours to solve
this, but now I really would like some help.
Can anyone give me som simple advises, or point me to a HowTo on how to
solve this issue.

Thanks
