restarting with a new pool

hi all --

is there a quick recipe for re-starting from a new pool?  somehow
my backuppc filesystem got corrupted -- so i'd like to, essentially,
do the following:
    
    $ cd <the backuppc filesystem>
    $ mkdir /tmp/backuppc_saved_stuff
    $ cp -a <everything but the pool> /tmp/backuppc_saved_stuff
    $ cd /
    $ umount <the backuppc filesystem>
    $ mkfs <a new backuppc filesystem>
    $ mount <the new filesystem>
    $ cp -a /tmp/backuppc_saved_stuff <the new filesystem>
    $ /etc/init.d/backuppc start

but i suspect there's a missing step in there -- how and when should
the new pool directory be created?  is an explicit step required?

(secondary question: the previous filesystem for the pool was ext3.
i'm running a 2.4.24 kernel.  is ext3 the right choice?  i'm not
sure where my corruption came from -- i had corrupt directories, links
from files to directories, other bad stuff.  :-/ )
