That's perfectly fine. status.pl will be rebuilt and, over time, the per-host status information will get updated. > My question is: is there any way to rebuild backups file based on the > data available in the disk? The prior version of the backups should be saved in backups.old. Check if that file exists is non-empty and correct. If so, copy it to backups. In 3.0.0 there is a script BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary that re-creates the backups file. An extra copy of the relevant information is stored in each numbered backup directory. BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary can also try to recover that information from the LOG files in the case of backups made prior to 3.x that don't have this meta data saved. 3.x is also more careful about how it writes these files: it writes to a temporary and does a readback comparison before renaming the file. You could upgrade and try BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary, but upgrading right after you had problems on the system might add too much perceived risk for your liking.
