Ran into some problems and couldn't login to the web interface. The above helped, when tracking down the paths and symlinks. Thanks!

So far, BackupPC looks good. Will start configuring it now and do some test backups later this afternoon. Darn users can't let me work in peace... ;-)

You might want to join the mail lists: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/info.html#lists if you have any specific questions about it. There are several users with a lot of experience and the author still participates.
