This does help encourage users to move /etc/backuppc to the external backup media and mount that directory over /etc/backuppc. That allows the OS to make /etc read-only. I'd suggest that future packaging (including upstream) relocate the directory to /var/lib/backuppc/etc/backuppc, to be bind mounted or symlinked by the systemd unit for backwards compatibility. (I mount the external backup media over /var/lib/backuppc using another systemd unit that becomes a dependency of the backuppc unit.) _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
