What I had set up at one point, since my /var/lib/backuppc was on a
separate (larger) LVM vg, was I touched a file called .backuppc in
/var/lib/backuppc, then in the startup script, put a small check in like
if [ ! -f /var/lib/backuppc/.backuppc ] ; then
echo "Data partition not mounted"
exit 1
fi
Worked pretty well, but you have to insure that it persists between
upgrades.
