Soft link confusion

["Gary L. Roach" <garyroach719@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I don't have occasion to use links very often and tend to get confused 
as to which direction the link is pointing. Specifically, I am trying to 
redirect backuppc files from the normal /var/lib/backuppc directory to 
another disk mounted at /media/Backup, a 1TB disk that is not being 
used. I wrote "ln -s /var/lib/backuppc  /media/Backup". This produced 
"backuppc -> /var/lib/backuppc" on the 1TB disk. The problem is that I 
now have duplicate files in both places. Specifically the cpool, log, 
pc, and pool directories appear on both drives. This is obviously not 
what I want. I need the pool files on the Backup disk and not on my 
system disk. What have I done wrong.

Sincerely appreciated any help.
