Hi Sam.  I saw that you have had some trouble with your Debian / 
BackupPC installation.  I have BackupPC running on a few Debian servers 
right now.  1 is Debian Etch, and 2 are Debian Lenny.

On Etch, I did this:
1) apt-get install backuppc (this installs BackupPC 2.x and all 
dependencies)
2) apt-get remove backuppc (maybe use the --purge option to remove 
config files to, but I can't remember if I did that)
3) download BackupPC 3.0 and libfile-rsync-perl from the testing 
repository, and install using "dpkg -i <packagename>"
4) I think I had to correct some permissions that weren't correct, 
namely I had to "chown -R backuppc.www-data /etc/backuppc" (and I might 
have had to do the same thing for /var/lib/backuppc -- I can't remember)

On Lenny I simply did apt-get install backuppc.  I think I also had to 
correct permissions like I did in Etch, but that may be fixed by now.  I 
did my installation about 10 months ago.
