Thanks Norman for your reply. After some more digging I realised that I had initially installed BackupPC manually rather than using the Debian distro package. So after cleaning up the manual install, I reinstalled using Debian's Bookworm package of BackupPC along with its dependencies. After some more tweaking of the configuration files in /etc/backuppc and /etc/apache2/ I got it working again. Thanks.
