You're problem is not really clear but this works for me.
I'm not sure what you need to do for Sid, but for Debian Etch, Apache2 I did
this. I'm not an apache expert.

Activate SSL modules for apache 2:
a2enmod ssl

Changed : ports.conf:  Listen 443

Install openssl 

Generate key in apache dir (Virtual hosts are configured to look here)

openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -nodes -out apache.pem -keyout apache.pem
chmod 600 apache.pem

I then changed the sites-available/default like this:

NameVirtualHost *:443

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
# DocumentRoot /var/www/
ServerName *********
DirectoryIndex index.php
ErrorLog  /var/log/apache2/error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/apache.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/apache.pem
<Location />
SSLRequireSSL On
SSLVerifyClient optional
SSLVerifyDepth 1
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars +StrictRequire
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

I hope this works. I log in via remote workstation
https://192.168.*.*/backuppc with backuppc user and password.
Check http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net/ for additional info.

I understand something could be broken with Sid on the computer I'm
using. However, the other computer I'm using also uses Sid. This makes
me thinks a couple of things:

1. Backuppc is not configured correctly
2. Something system configuration is not correct
3. Apache is not setup correctly
4. The system is broke
5. Perhaps it's an undiscussed bug.

I don't know much about backuppc.

I didn't know that understanding apache was a requirement for it.
I was hoping for the tutorials and documentation on backuppc to cover
more of these things in detail. Because I couldn't find a lot of
information, I came here. If things don't start working soon, I'll
figure something out myself. However, I think I'll post here for the
next while.

I turned off the firewall to test backuppc CGI. As a note, I keep seeing
my system talk about 127.0.1.1 as being a pingable IP. I find that
unusual. So, maybe that has some importance. I don't know what file
relates to that issue. I'm able to ping 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1.
I tried using 127.0.1.1 in the browser: http://127.0.1.1/backuppc
and that didn't work.
