Hi John, can you see any directories inside the host directory in /var/lib/BackupPC/pc?
There should be a numerical named folder for each backup of this host. If you can find these folders, check if there are any entries in the /var/lib/BackupPC/pc/hostname/backups file. It should contain a line for each of your backups along with some stats etc. Maybe backuppc has overridden them at startup when not seeing the folders because it was missing the required permissions.
