1 - stop the  BackupPC daemon

2 - update File::RsyncP (manually or via the 'cpan' command)

3 - perl ./configure.pl

Then answer the following question:

"Is this a new installation or upgrade for BackupPC?  If this is
an upgrade please tell me the full path of the existing BackupPC
configuration file (eg: /etc/BackupPC/config.pl).  Otherwise, just
hit return."

   -> /full/path/to/your/current/config.pl

(default values for other parameters should be OK)

4 - start the  BackupPC daemon

NOTA: you may have to adjust file permissions for the Web GUI to work.
Take a look at your running config and take notes before you upgrade.
