I apologise for the bombardment of email/replies. However, I am able to get
into the GUI now after playing about with backuppc.
I went to back up my Linux servers and they are failing every time I try to do
a full backup, I'm getting the same error for all my Linux servers:
Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed)
However my Windows share is backing up just fine, I haven't received any errors
whatsoever and I've checked the top command and its running a BackupPC_tarExt
dump.
Surprisingly however, I’m still receiving the same failed error message when I
run service backuppc status?

Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] Upgrading to backuppc-4.1.3 FAILED!
Ive just installed the backuppc 4 from a script I found online from
git(https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki/Installing-BackupPC-4-from-git-on-Ubuntu-Xenial-16.04-LTS).
ASfter running the script, Im not longer getting the internal error in the
GUI, I am now 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.
I feel I am slowly but steadily making progress....I'm still unsure on how to
correct the issue I'm having with both the GUI and when I run service backuppc
status in the command line, I am still getting....

I removed the BackupPC 4.1.3 tarball's file, and I've installed the
backuppc_3.3.1-2ubuntu3_amd64.deb(my previous version) I got from online. When
I ran it I still receive the following message...
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling
back to defaults
Job for backuppc.service failed because the control process exited with error
code. See "systemctl status backuppc.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

__And I'm still getting the internal error in the GUI. I don't

Is there any way to roll back to my previous version of BackupPC
please?
-------------------------
Moving from an installation package to a source-based install can be a bit of a
trial, depending on how much the norms of that distro and packaging system
deviate from the tarball. Version 4 is a fairly dramatic leap as well, which
complicates things further.
First, though, I'll address your question and give you the good news: since you
never actually launched BackupPC 4, your repository is instact and in the
expected location for your distro. Therefore, to revert to the previous
version, you need only delete the tarball's files, and install the distro's
version.
N.B. preserve your config.pl and return it to its original location, as your
distro may assume it is a new installation and do god-knows-what to your
config.pl. Some are kinder than others.
—
The SCGI question is a bit harder to answer without knowing what other choices
you've made. Since I have set up SCGI, I match the port to what I have set up
within Apache… which can be anything, as long as the number in Apache and in
config.pl are the same. If I had not set up SCGI, I'd set it to -1.
