I would be careful as running BackupPC could cause certain old backups to expire that you may not want to expire. Plus, if you don't have all the hosts set properly, it could delete pool files that are needed...
I would be VERY careful to: 1. Make sure I have my full config restored -- including desired expiry times 2. That all my desired backup hosts are intact 3. That I know what I am doing before starting the daemon and risking auto-deletion Regardless, definitely make a copy/snapshot before proceeding... so you can undo...
