I've been running BackupoPC for several years on an older Ubuntu server. I recently started wondering how I would restore things if the server itself died and needed to be replace. To that end, I installed BackupPC on a spare laptop and attached last year's external backup drive to it to see if I could recover files. While I was able to get BackupPC up and running with a copy of the hosts file from the main backup system, it was unable to access any of the files that I could see on the disk.
With that out of the way, my 2 questions: 1. What else do I need to have on the backup backup machine besides a recent (or freshly created) hosts file? 2. What do I do about permissions as the uids don't seem to travel well?
