OK, so my authentication problem is solved. /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf had 
AuthUserFile set to /etc/BackupPC/apache.users but I had created it in 
/etc/httpd/passwd. I guess the preferred location has changed over the years. I 
modified the BackupPC.conf file to point to /etc/httpd/passwd and now I can get 
to the BackupPC server.
Any specific reason to rebuild the password file in the default location with 
the default name?

Or I should say I >could< get to the server before I tried to configure the 
BackupPC server to point at my old backup.
The problem is that my backups are on an ext3 filesystem whereas my new CentOS 
6.4 is partitioned with ext4.

I can use tune3fs to convert ext3 to ext4 but I'm a little nervous about doing 
it. If it goes wrong, there go my backups.
On the other hand the backups are no use if I can't get to them.

Anyone done this before? The h/w the backups are on is an external 1T USB 
MyBook.

Thanks,
Steve
