Copy only the host config files from here to your new debian server into
/etc/backuppc/hostname.pl

Copy these three dirs to /var/lib/backuppc

DO NOT CHANGE the TopDir in the config.pl file!! That has been said so
many times on this list!

Leave the topdir alone, and just edit the other things in the config.pl
that you want to customise.

The best way I found to do this is something like this:
grep -v ^\# oldconfig.pl > /tmp/oldconfig.pl
grep -v ^\# newconfig.pl > /tmp/newconfig.pl
diff -u /tmp/oldconfig.pl /tmp/newconfig.pl

Keep your configs in /etc/backuppc

Right, because you can't change the topdir/confdir like that... You have
strayed from the path, but once you come back to the "Debian Way" then
you will be fine. Put the data were your package manager wants you to,
and you will find things significantly easier, especially when it is
time to upgrade. This is true for ALL distro/package based systems.

If you need to, use "bind" mounts if you don't have enough disk space
where debian thinks you should have it...

Adam
