Thanx for the suggestions! I expect some of the trouble may be just from the
backuppc permissions as it was one of the packages installed later and the
backuppc user was definitely off. As I have passwd, group, and shadow (I didn't
know about that last one at all), it should be fairly straightforward this time

Be aware that if you recover passwd and groups after you install lots
of stuff on your server, the ids of the backuped data might fight while
the ids of already installed stuff are wrong. Better recover passwd and
shadow and group right after the basic install, then install what is
needed to make this machine the desired server and recover the data
from backup.
