If you are moving to a new machine, it's really easier to just start over and 
keep the old machine/archive around for a while until the new one accumulates 
history.  If you copy the original ssh keys to the new server, the public keys 
on the targets will still match.  If you are reinstalling the OS on the same 
server, just be sure you keep the ssh keys from backuppc, and don't format the 
backuppc archive file system.  Different distros put things in different 
places, 
so be sure you are aware of where all the config files land and where you need 
to symlink your archive directory.
