Err, I did some more looking, and my syntax for removing the old
version may be incorrect.
To remove, try "dpkg --purge backuppc" or "apt-get remove --purge
backuppc".
Sorry for the confusion!

Hi Mohammed,
Try "apt-get --purge backuppc" to remove everything (configuration
files and all) from the BackupPC installation.
When re-installing, I'd recommend trying the latest version
(3.1.0-1) which is currently in Debian Unstable ("Sid"). It's got
the most up-to-date code, and hopefully is the most bug-free version
of BackupPC. (I know I prefer it to the 2.x version that's included
with Debian by default due to a couple big bug fixes). To do this:
Add the unstable repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list, using
this command:
echo "deb http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/ unstable main">>/etc/apt/
sources.list
Then, assuming you're running stable ("etch"), tell apt that you
want to keep running stable unless otherwise noted:
echo "APT::Default-Release \"stable\";">/etc/apt/apt.conf
Next, update APT so it can see the repository you just added
apt-get update
Finally, install the new BackupPC from the unstable repositories by
telling Debian to install a specific version of BackupPC only
available in the Unstable repository at present:
apt-get install backuppc=3.1.0-1
And you should be good to go.
For your convenience, I've attached a doc I wrote on how to build a
debian box and put BackupPC on it, start to finish. I don't know if
it's useful to you, but in case it is, enjoy!
:-)

Dear All
Would any one please tell me what are the best commands to Fully
remove
backuppc (with the backed-up files) and how to reinstall it without
causing
any problems to me .
I'm using Linux Debian.I tired to remove it using apt-get remove
and other
commands, but the backuppc didn't work and unable to /etc/init.d/
