The backuppc service is separate from the web interface. You don't need
to restart it for changes in the web side of things. The cgi-bin
redirection just needs to be correct for your installation - I'm not
sure how it relates to the change you are describing here.

By 'switching', do you mean you are only running one web application at
at time? If you don't run backuppc under mod_perl you can just use
setuid on the cgi program to get access to the backuppc data so it can
run with no conflicts with other web applications. If you do run under
mod_perl and have to share a machine that runs the httpd process as some
other user you can run a different httpd instance bound to a different
port or IP address so both instances can run together.
