It is on a debian sarge system, what is the best procedure to update to
last 2.1.3 version?

Did you install using apt or using the archive directly from the BackupPC website? I you used apt (installed a .deb file) then you might want to ask the maintainer to create an updated package. I believe the layout in the Debian package is a bit different than the 'original'. I don't know if you'll want to use the following procedure on a system that has BackupPC installed through a package manager.

Anyway, I'm just using the archive from the website and I upgraded from 2.1.2pl2 to 2.1.3 yesterday. Upgrading is not really different from installing.

1. Stop the backuppc service
2. Download the latest version
3. Unpack the archive
4. Run perl configure.pl in the unpacked directory
5. Start the backuppc service

Worked just fine for me. See the docs on the site if you need more detailed information on installing BackupPC.
