[BackupPC-users] pulling initial full from a dump

[Kameleon <kam...@gm...>]

I have setup our new backuppc server. However I having a problem pulling
the initial full from two of our remote sites. Each site is on a T1 and has
around 500GB it needs to grab. The backup times out before it can finish.
Before I have had to get an external usb drive, take it to the site, do an
rsync manually, and bring it back to the office to have backuppc grab it.
However I have a good full from our old backuppc server that I can dump
onto another physical machine here. I did this but when I pulled the full
it mounted it as /home/servername instead of just / so when the new server
tried to pull the incremental it was trying to pull from / meaning it
didn't match any files and started pulling them all again. I cannot
remember for the life of me how I did it before to get it to work properly.
Any pointers?
