I wasn't actually replying to your remark as much as just encouraging
the use of the web interface.
I generally prefer to do configuration via manual editing of config
files, but in this case, I find BackupPC's web interface so easy to use,
that I prefer it. And in the case of someone who is having problems
getting the config right because they are not looking in the right
files, I think it is doubly helpful because it automatically puts all of
the settings in the correct place. I haven't looked at the config.pl
comments recently, but I have found the links from the web interface to
the docs to be very helpful on more than a few occasions.
