I'm not sure that it would work, but I would use rsync to copy pc/benz from one server to the other, then copy the config files for benz then add the benz host to the other server. (With rsync, make sure you turn on all the relevant options for link handling: this should preserve the tree of links under pc/benz, but will make the transfer take longer.) I expect that that BackupPC would take care of everything for you during one of its maintenance tasks, but I'm not sure this is actually the case. If this is not the case, then you can just remove everything you copied across and try something else. I know this is not a great deal of help, but sometimes it pays to just go ahead and give it a shot, especially since the amount of effort required to try it is not that high... If this works, let us know!
