Copy the configuration files. After copying the data files - while preserving hardlinks (important!) - you would have to run a 'chown -R backuppc:backuppc *' for all backuppc files, (assuming those are the backuppc user and group names). File attributes are stored inside files, so no information is lost. I am not completely sure this is all you need to do, someone advise if more is necessary to get the internal workings of backuppc up to date. I recall the need to let backuppc run a nightly scan over the repositories. > 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. That can be done neatly just after installing backuppc.
