Exactly what I did. Worked without any issues.

chown -R backuppc:backuppc /var/log/backuppc was the missing link😅️
Sorry for asking a few minutes too early.
I'm a bit late, but ... next time: for experienced users
it should be possible, too, to just change the uid/gid
of the backuppc user in the new system's /etc/passwd and /etc/group
files.
Then the chown is just needed for the config files in e.g.
/etc/backuppc. AFAIR I did it like this some time ago.
Since, for large volumes of the backuppc pool, the chown could take
some time. And it is not always a good idea to touch all the files in
the pool.
