Hmm, the stock monitrc file provides the following suggestion among others:
#    if failed url http://user:password AT www.foo DOT bar:8080/?querystring
#       and content == 'action="j_security_check"'

So perhaps monit could log into the BackupPC host and check one of bpc's
output pages for certain content.
