Hello Alan,
There are plenty of previous threads on the topic that you can dig through.
In short, if the installation has no legacy backups from BackupPC 3
(which were hard-linked), just copy the whole data folder and host
config (possibly all configs) over the new installation.
If that is not the case, have a look at this if it fits your needs:

Hello,
I am running BackupPc 4.3 on a debian server, actual physical data
store size about 360Gb.
I would like to build a new server.
Preference is to copy the 360Gb data store to an external drive, build
a new server (same box, new drives, cpu, memory) and then import the
old data store from the external hard drive. Hopefully keep my old
backups and “history”.
Is this possible, any suggestions or comments ?
BRgds/Alan
