i did an upgrade and did a
sort /etc/backuppc/oldconfig.pl > /tmp/oldconfig.pl
sort /etc/backuppc/config.pl > /tmp/config.pl
diff /tmp/oldconfig.pl /tmp/config.pl > /tmp/diffedconfig.pl
then i can take a look at the diffedconfig.pl to see changed. i sort the
files so i dont have to jump back and forth a lot trying to find the config
sections. i only use this as a reference and then i modify the new
/etc/backuppc/config.pl
hope it helps.
