If you are internet-exposed and running on port 22 you'll be hit by a
lot of brute-force password guessing - not too likely to succeed if you
have good user passwords, but still a possibility.

I thought it was on the wiki but I can't find it now and don't have an
example myself. It's pretty straighforward, though. Just configure
sudo to permit the command you want to run as root by the user in
question on the target machine without password entry, then configure
backuppc to send the command including the sudo via ssh.
