I prefer Ubuntu. However, it is based on Debian, and of course also uses
APT. Cesar is right; APT is so awesome it hurts.

If you do use Debian, use a stable release. If you use Ubuntu, use an
LTS release. Generally stick to defaults and don't get obsessed about
one filesystem over another. You want your backup system to be stable,
reliable, and long-lived.

Installation of BackupPC is one command:

apt-get install backuppc
