Hi Ib,

Another approach that I came to think of is to try to emulate the 
environment of your previous working setup. Ie. install BackupPC 3 using 
the same OS that you had before. VMs or containers are a good way to do 
this.

All of that comes from config.pl, under /etc/backuppc or /etc/BackupPC. 
The upgrade process also does some mangling of that file, so not 
everything used as such from a V3 install.

Best regards,
Johan
