I've been running BackupoPC for several years on an older Ubuntu server. I 
recently started wondering how I would restore things if the server itself died 
and needed to be replace. To that end, I installed BackupPC on a spare laptop 
and attached last year's external backup drive to it to see if I could recover 
files. While I was able to get BackupPC up and running with a copy of the hosts 
file from the main backup system, it was unable to access any of the files that 
I could see on the disk. 

With that out of the way, my 2 questions:
1. What else do I need to have on the backup backup machine besides a recent 
(or freshly created) hosts file?
2. What do I do about permissions as the uids don't seem to travel well?

TIA, 
Dave
