The host running backuppc on my network had its root drive fail. The actual backup storage was on an external drive which I had mounted on /var/lib/backuppc
That external drive is still healthy. I remember spending a lot of time getting backuppc to work just right and dread starting over. Since the external drive includes the backup for localhost (the former box running backuppc), it should include a backup for /etc/backuppc and the config.pl file (I forget which directories I set for backup for localhost; hopefully I included /etc). It seems there should be a way I can extract my now-lost /etc/backuppc/config.pl and other files in that directory. I am hoping I can install backuppc fresh, then grab the /etc/backuppc files from the external drive, and swap them in. Is this possible? The names on the files on the external drive are all user-unfriendly.
