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.
