Sorry about the delay in replying.  First, is there useful information
in /var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost/backups.old?

If you upgrade to v3 the BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary script will
attempt to rebuild the backups file for 2.x backups using the
per-client LOG files.

An alternative is to rebuilt the file manually.  The format is
pretty simple (an ascii file with one line per backup, each field
is tab delimited; see the docs). Quite a few of the fields are
for stats so you don't need to get those right.  You could copy
another backups file and edit, but you should be really sure to
not delete or add any tabs.
