There is second issue to verify when you re-install but keep your old backuppc data: when you install backuppc, and when the creation of a backuppc user is done during install (rpms do it this way) linux will attribute the next availablet uid and gid - which may be different from the uid and gid defined in your original configuration - resulting in a somewhat schizophrenic situation.
I have had - after a disk crash - this problem, and solved it by using chown -R To avoid this problem, I now configure my backuppc userr prior to installing backuppc and explicitely specify uid and gid with values somewhere in the range of values that dont overlap with Linux habits. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
