Not sure, but I thought the rsyncd module names would show up below
the listing of the old / directory with a leading + to open them.
Did you scroll down far enough that you would have seen them?

Thanks Les,
I see that some of the clients/hosts have the new rsyncd modules listed,
but they're the ones which have had the old non-rsyncd configured backups
trashed by backuppc.
I'm considering Rob's suggestion for our Domino server which is set to
keep backups for much longer than the others, but I may leave the rest
alone and just let backuppc remove the old backups in its own pace.
Thank you both for your replies.
Best regards
Johan Boström
