Yes.  backups should be a small ascii file with one line per
backup.  It shouldn't be more than a couple of kB max.

Your backups file is huge.  What is in them?  Is your disk corrupted
in some way?

If you are running 3.x it is easy to build a new backups file.
Rename the old backups file to something else.  Then run:

    su backuppc
    /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary HOSTNAME
