Not exactly an answer to your question, but i would do this:

umount /var/lib/backuppc
dd if=/dev/onedisk of=/dev/someotherdisk bs=1M

this will overwrite /dev/someotherdisk with a complete copy of the 
/var/lib/backuppc filesystem. 

If it's not its own filesystem, well, you need to do the rest of the filesystem.

In practice, rsync -H is the reasonable way to do what you're after, EXCEPT 
that there are just too many hard links on a backuppc data store for this to 
work.
