Thanks Johan
That's really helpful.  It runs through to completion successfully but 
frustratingly I can't seem to access the web interface on 
http://backuppc/BackupPC_Admin  

I've using the backuppc username and have tried the old password and tried 
resetting it with
sudo htpasswd /etc/backuppc/htpasswd backuppc but without success. 

I have tried an apache restart and a reboot but no difference.   I get the 
impression I'm missing something obvious. Is there anything else to do to get 
access to the CGI?

Thanks
