[BackupPC-users] out of disk space - big oops

[Troy P. <tr...@pi...>]

By default my backuppc is backing up to
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost for example.  I back up only 2
machines - localhost (Ubuntu linux) via tar and a WindowsXP via smb.

All was going well until I added some dirs from the Windows
machine, the backup jumped to about 40Gb and has filled the disk.

I only have 1.5Mb free space on drive /var is mounted on.  Unless
you've done this before, you have no idea how hard it is to do
things with no spare space.

As I type this I am 
'cp -a /var/lib/backuppc/pc/windows /mnt/hda4' to get windows off
to another partition.  Then I'll 'sudo rm -rf
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/windows' to free the space.

My questions:

- is there a better way to migrate in future?
- is there a way to tell backuppc to store backups somewhere
  else?  or should I just mount another partition to
  /var/lib/backuppc/pc or similar?

Any recommendations?
