When you are successful in achieving this (and relaxed that you have you backups back), it would be nice if you could jot down your experiences in the BackupPC Wiki. Regards & Wish you success. Peter

You can go to vmware and download an ubuntu 8.04 server image that is ready to run and do a quick 'apt-get install backuppc' and when that is done do 'mount -t nfs *.*.*.*:/nfs/path/to/backuppc/files /var/lib/backuppc'. you then either need to get the config files for the old hosts, that can be done by loging in to the net backuppc servers web interface and selecting localhost, which should be populated from the localhost section of $TopDIR, and restore the backuppc directory out of the /etc backup. Once the config files are restored, you are ready to continue using backuppc OR you can restore from any of the old hosts as you have everything needed, the config file and the pool and the pc directory. I think you can get this accomplished in 1 hour or less if you have high speed internet to download the vmware image or ubuntu sever iso.
