The steps are generally:

1. Copy/move the old pool to the same location as the default installation.
IE, for Ubuntu, /var/lib/backuppc
2. Add all the hosts listed in /var/lib/backuppc/pc to /etc/backuppc/hosts

You should be able to now see all the hosts, but you'll have to rebuild the
default and per-host configurations.
