[BackupPC-users] Installation trouble

[Damien H. <dh...@di...>]

Heres what I have

BackupPC Server
1. Ubuntu Dapper Server (LTS)
2. Installed BackupPC from the Ubuntu package (apt-get)
3. According to the web interface I have version 2.1.2

Network
1. laptop
2. Workstation
3. 3 servers

Questions
1. Should I get the new version?
2. Why is the data directory in /var/backuppc?
3. How do I change the data directory?
4. Should I change the data directory?
5. Is there a way to do off site storage?

I know it's a lot of questions. I'm asking because I want my data to be safe. I also don't want to go through another setup process.

Note: I'm also looking at Bacula.
