Hi guys

I am writing just to give some feedback.

I upgraded my system  to etch (debian current stable version), and
upgraded the backuppc package to 3.0.0-2, which is a packaged version
of backuppc for debian unstable.

Everything is going fine, I reconstructed the backups file, as Craig
said, with the following command:

/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary -l independence

Thanks for the help,
Rodrigo
