It looks to me like this has already been done. And in the upstream
source, not in any patches. I just reviewed the Debian specific
patches and they look fine to me but do not cover anything in this
area.
File Lib.pm:
sub new
...
$topDir = '/var/lib/backuppc' if ( $topDir eq "" );
I am guessing that the wisdom of the net had determined that the above
doesn't work as intended and doesn't get topDir from the config file.
Okay. I will put a debug statement in there (just for my own info)
and will override the value at that point.
I can certainly symlink from one location to the other. Have done so.
But wanting to have a better understanding I am going to poke into the
problem a little more. Because I would like to be able to recover the
now existing backups and have them linked into the cpool to save disk
space.
