[BackupPC-users] Migrate backup pool to new server

[Richard Bailey]

Hello, I'm in the process of planning the rebuild of my home server to
beefier hardware, which will require a reinstall of the OS. BackupPC backs
up to an external disk. To test that I can move the backup repository to a
new server I just did a test install on my desktop, plugged in and mounted
the disk and restarted BackupPC, but there are permissions problems since
the UID and GID are different.

Is there a procedure for moving the /var/lib/backuppc filesystem to a new
host?

Ideally after the new home server is built and reinstalled I would like to
restore some /etc files directly from this backuppc pool to assist with
rebuilding all the services that were provided.

- Regards,
Richard Bailey
