Can I please get an update on my issue, please?
This is our only source of backing up our servers, we are not backing
up at the current moment because of this issue.
As mentioned, I upgraded backuppc from 3.3.1 to 4.1.3 from which I
download the tar file from the backuppc website.
However, when I see what version of backuppc I'm currently running
right now, it's still 3.3.1?
I'm not sure what I've done wrong?
-------------------------
This will be somewhat backwards due to top-posting, but I'll start here
-- the first thing you've done wrong is persisted in using the developer
list, but it is a user issue. You're much more likely to get faster and
better responses on the correct list. I've taken the liberty of
crossposting this reply to the users list (see above) in the hopes that
we can terminate this thread in the developer discussion, where it does
not belong.

I apologize for the multiple emails.
I am now getting the following message when I go into the GUI....
INTERNAL SERVER ERROR
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@localhost to
inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you
performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error
log.

Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this, please? This is our only

That part about more information available in the server error log is
usually a good clue -- what does the server error log say?

I tried to download backuppc-4.1.3 from the backuppc website.
The upgrade went fine, however, I backuppc.server won't start now?
In the GUI, I'm getting.....
ERROR: UNABLE TO CONNECT TO BACKUPPC SERVER
This CGI script (/backuppc/index.cgi) is unable to connect to the
BackupPC server on backuppc01 port -1.
The error was: unix connect: No such file or directory.
Perhaps the BackupPC server is not running or there is a configuration
error. Please report this to your Sys Admin.
And when I try to run "service backuppc restart", Im getting.....
Job for backuppc.service failed because the control process exited
with error code. See "systemctl status backuppc.service" and
"journalctl -xe" for details.
And when I run "systemctl status backuppc.service", Im getting.....

I followed the upgrade instructions correctly.

-------------------------
I can't speak to which upgrade instructions you followed and whether or
not you did so correctly, but this is telling you that you're trying to
start a version 4 server with a version 3 config.pl, which probably
isn't going to work well.

My distro is Ubuntu 16.04.3
I try to upgrade just backuppc, and it's telling me that "backuppc is
already the newest version (3.3.1-2ubuntu3.3)."
I'm not sure on how I can upgrade backuppc to 3.3.2 or later as you
suggested?

Sincere apologies for the late reply.
You mention that version 3.3.1 doesn’t work with 4.3 of smbclient.
How do I downgrade the smbclient, please?
Unfortunately, that highly depends on your distro and/or flavor or how
you've installed samba or smbclient in the first place. For some
distros, it's as simple as specifying the version to the package
manager or using the recommended downgrade path, for others, it can be
much more complicated, requiring building from source or alternative
repositories.
It might be simpler to upgrade to version 3.3.2 (or later) instead.
IIRC, the issue is that smbclient changed its reporting, so that
BackupPC has trouble recognizing when the files are actually
successfully retrieved, when in fact they are.
