This was going to be my first response as well. But I have to admit I
found myself in the same position as the OP. I read the BackupPC
documentation (or as much as I thought was necessary,) installed and
configured the system, and was perplexed that it didn't work. I've
learned a lot about SSH since then, but I found the documentation in
BackupPC assumed that the administrator has already configured the
method that it can talk to the clients with.

I requested access to the Wiki so I could add this info but got
sidetracked and haven't had the time to update it. I just intended to
add a preface that said something like:
"Note: Before installing BackupPC, be sure you have configured a
method for your computers to securely talk with each other such as
pre-shared SSH keys."

Agreed!
