As I remember almost all settings are
stored in the .conf file. Here is a blog post when I
needed to move the pool a few years ago...

It has a link to the SourceForge
thread that I found helpful also. Great think is backuppc hasn't
changed much since then...

Hello,
Is it possible to access backups created with a different machine?
My backuppc server died, but /var/lib/backuppc was on a different disk
so I still have full backups of localhost.
Ideally I would like to restore the full system but it would already be
very good to recover the mysql databases and selected system
configuration files.
I reinstalled ubuntu, reinstalled backuppc, relinked /var/lib/backuppc but
- No joy with the GUI (old backups do not show)
- No joy using the command line.
(as backuppc user)
$ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h localhost -n 224 -s '/'
/var/lib/mysql > /tmp/dbs.tar
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate: bad backup number 224 for
host localhost
- BackupPC_zcat works but I have not figured out how to restore
user:group and permissions
Is there a way to get the GUI to read the backups (I am lazy)? If not is
there a way to trick BackupPC_tarCreate?
Note that when I re-installed backuppc it probably wrote new files in
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/ and I do not have backups of those.
Cheers,
Michele
