Hi Nicola,

We were in this exact situation not long ago. We came up with a simple 
method to use any intact files as the base for new backups.

You can find the details here:
http://johan.ehnberg.net/backuppc-pre-loading-seeding-and-migrating-moving-script/

Or in my post to this mailing list.

Basically, it creates a new partial backup on your new drive and when 
backuppc backs it up the first time, any files that do not match the 
client's corresponding files are discarded. This is verified with 
checksum by backuppc.

Let me know if you need any help.

Best regards,
Johan
