My suggestion is yes, give it a whirl.

More accurately, I'd suggest saving a copy of your current config.pl,
so you can try again if anything goes awry. Also, depending on what
procedure or script you're using, you may want to examine it to see if
it has options to update your config.pl or assume you need a new one,
as the one from which that command line came. It doesn't need to be
done at the same time as the tar installation, but it won't hurt to go
through the steps again, either.

 Example:

--cgi-dir /var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC --data-dir /var/lib/backuppc
--backuppc01 backuppc  --html-dir /var/www/html/BackupPC
The file '/configure.pl --batch --cgi-dir /var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC
--data-dir /var/lib/backuppc --backuppc01 backuppc  --html-dir
/var/www/html/BackupPC' doesn't exist.

Is this a new installation or upgrade for BackupPC?  If this is
an upgrade please tell me the full path of the existing BackupPC
configuration file (eg: /etc/BackupPC/config.pl).  Otherwise, just
hit return.

--> Full path to existing main config.pl [/configure.pl --batch

I believe I misunderstood what you were asking.  When it asks for the 
full path, just give it the full path to your config.pl, which is likely 
to be something like /etc/BackupPC/config.pl -- I'm not sure what the 
Ubuntu convention is, so you might need to locate it first.  What I 
provided was a *command line* that would process a config.pl in the 
*current* directory, that you may need to tailor to your current paths.  
Sorry about the confusion.
