Ssh works as a pipe - anything written to stdout on the remote side can
be read through ssh just like a local pipe. The default tar and rsync
commands configured in backuppc use this feature correctly. They should
be listed in the documentation at
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#configuration_file in
case you've forgotten what you changed.

Ubuntu has a root account (as anything resembling unix must). It just
doesn't have a password assigned by default - and you don't need one for
key-pair based ssh access.
