If your installation is Ubuntu, you need:

/etc/backuppc
/var/lib/backuppc

It's common to have the second of these on its own datastore. If you're
replicating that elsewhere, or recovering the disks, also make sure you
regularly backup /etc/backuppc as well.

To recover the data, just install backuppc on the new server, and move
those two directories to the same place.

Other distros have similar directory structures.
