When the "backuppc" user connects to a host to do a backup, it uses a
passwordless login with ssh keys. The password entered the very first time I
transferred the key, was root's. So does this mean it's user "backuppc" that
does the actual restore or user "root"? If the first, then I can understand that
the user backuppc can't write to anywhere, right?

Dunno', I only ever use the web gui, as it's so easy, practical and
straight-forward to use. Actually it's the main reason why I stick with BPC;
IMHO a backup-system is as good as the gui is and how admin-friendly it is.
Personally I don't want to jump through hoops when I need to restore stuff
quickly - a few clicks in the gui and I'm done. As I said, it's my personal
opinions and maybe not really on-topic. 8-)
