Is this BackupPC v3 or v4? With v3, the number of symlinks make it impractical to copy data from one machine to another (you can do it if you dd the partition to a partition on the new machine, but don't try a file-level copy unless you use some specialized scripts and really know what you're doing).
It's generally easiest to just set up a new server and keep the old one around as a backup until the data can be considered 'expired'. Much simpler and more reliable than trying to migrate data. For BackupPC v4 I have no experience.
