Good luck with that. Ssh, Rsync, tar, and smbclient are the 'other 
tools', and once you understand what they do, backuppc is fairly 
intuitive and it's automation and web interface are much easier to use 
than the low-level tools themselves.  These are things you basically 
need to know to administer any unix-like system - and once learned will 
apply across most of them.

There should be no need to read source, though. Just pick which xfer 
type is appropriate (or if you want advice, describe your potential 
targets and the OS they run), and learn enough about how it works to set 
the documented configuration variables for backuppc - which you can 
mostly do through it's web interface.
