Hello there,

I would need a bit of advice with backuppc.

I just reinstalled ubuntu (12.04 to replace 10.10) and backuppc
(.deb 3.2.1-2ubuntu1.1 replacing 3.2.0-3ubuntu4~maverick1).

I have a .tgz of old /etc/backuppc and /var/lib/backuppc.
The store is on an external disk, which was mounted from fstab :

   UUID=d8a382ae-f0ad-49ca-907b-1e99483ef5aa /var/lib/backuppc/store 
ext4 defaults,noauto,noatime 0 2

Now I need to restore the configuration, but I'm afraid of damaging my 
store/pool.

The simple plan I have in mind:
  - stop the service
  - overwrite or merge the files from /etc/backuppc/
  - overwrite or merge the files from /var/lib/backuppc/
  - merge /etc/fstab and mount the disk
  - start backuppc service and pray.

Is there any specific precautions I should take ?

Much thanks.

Michelle
