Well having apparently found the backup that this file relates to:

sudo -ubackuppc ./BackupPC_ls -R -h myhost -n 1437 -s /var/www / | egrep
a06340ddb577fd02a04bda2998a8d246

... returns no results. No results in any share of that backup.

Found it with:

# a0 is the first two letters of the hash of the file we are looking for:
a06340ddb577fd02a04bda2998a8d246
find . -name "poolCnt.1.a0" -exec sh -c 'for f; do
/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_poolCntPrint "$f" | grep -q
"a06340ddb577fd02a04bda2998a8d246" && echo "Match: $f"; done' sh {} +

Thanks for the pointers!
