Storage layout
BackupPC resides in three directories:
__INSTALLDIR__
Perl scripts comprising BackupPC reside in __INSTALLDIR__/bin,
libraries are in __INSTALLDIR__/lib and documentation is in
__INSTALLDIR__/doc.
__CGIDIR__
The CGI script BackupPC_Admin resides in this cgi binary directory.
__TOPDIR__
All of BackupPC’s data (PC backup images, logs, configuration

As to running configure.pl, my understanding is that it is

how to change my password with htpasswd, and then knowing
that I can get the GUI by going to http://localhost/backuppc/ in my browser.
