I've been reading the archives and documentation but haven't been able
to find a clear answer...

I have backuppc backing up the machine it runs on to a NAS. Thus
everything under __TOPDIR__ is on the NAS. Meanwhile the backuppc
binaries and configuration are on the server.

If I were to loose the server, how hard would it be to restore data from
the NAS? Obviously I'd have to rebuild a server and install BackupPC
again. If I had BackupPC backing up its config directory, would it be
easy to extract those files from the cpool?

Thanks,
Erik
