Copying /var/lib/backuppc/* is not a trivial matter because of the
./pc hardlinks to pool (or cpool). See "copying the pool" at
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#other_installation_topics

How did you do it?

Also, you may try the backuppc mailing list
(http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/info.html)
