I'm having no luck whatsoever with my issue, and I was thinking if I completely
uninstalled all of backuppc, every config file etc, could I install the latest
version and still keep my previous/archived data, I don't want to lose that?

I'm kinda a newbie to all this - how do I extract the relevant scripts from the
.deb file and install them by hand, please?

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?
-------------------------
The error you're receiving is fairly generic, you should be able to glean more
from the details logs. The big things which make rsync not work are usually
authentication and configuration related, but I can't think of a good reason
any of that would have changed during an up or downgrade.
The service definition is a different matter — if I were to venture a guess,
I'd suggest that the upgrade installed v4 service definitions, and the v3
reinstall did not touch them, for whatever reason (there are a number of
possibilities: neglecting to run systemctl daemon-reload, v3 doesn't bother if
it sees they're already installed, v3 uses the sys5 style instead of systemctl,
or v3 tried but failed.) If I were sorting this out on my systems, I'd probably
extract the relevant scripts from the .deb file and install them by hand.
