Presumably your /var directory is on your root partition? BackupPC puts its backups under /var/lib/backuppc. > I have a 500GB > disk mounted in /home/backups - how do I tell backuppc to put all > backups in that partition?

I would do this, assuming your 500Gb disk is /dev/sdb1: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- umount /dev/sdb1 mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt cp -a /var/lib/backuppc/* /mnt umount /mnt rm -rf /var/lib/backuppc/* mount /dev/sdb1 /var/lib/backuppc -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You'll want to edit /etc/fstab to mount /dev/sdb1 on /var/lib/backuppc at boot time too.
