hi Les, well - prefer "up and running" packages :) as the /etc should contain just the config for (localhost-specific) i would say "backuppc-config" may stay there ... Reading the "Configuration file" on wikipedia it seems for the client config there might be an exeption: "Server processes often use configuration files stored in /etc, but they may also use their installation directory or a location defined by the system administrator." as this are not really localhost (server) specific the admin is allowed to specify another path - so client-credentials are allowed to be somewhere else? Maybe usefully encrypted together with the data?
