It sounds like the backups file got trashed.

It's the file in, eg, /data/BackupPC/pc/HOST/backups that summarizes
each back.  I assume it only has one line in it, right?

If you have several numbered directories in /data/BackupPC/pc/HOST
that don't have matching lines in /data/BackupPC/pc/HOST/backups
then you should rebuild the backups file:

    su backuppc
    cp /data/BackupPC/pc/HOST/backups /data/BackupPC/pc/HOST/backups.save
    /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary HOST
