does the backuppc user have the same UID on the new system as it did on the
old one? If not, changing the UID in /etc/passwd (and chown()ing any local
files the backuppc user might own) is likely to be significantly faster than
chown()ing the whole pool, aside from the fact that it would allow you to
continue to access the pool from both old and new system (don't do this
simultaneously, though).

Holger
