your error message seems to indicate that it is not related to the web server.

First of all, what version of BackupPC are you running?
The 3.1.0 sources indicate that there *should* be a user id before the
"(backuppc)" in the error message. It is empty, so "getpwnam ('backuppc')"
failed - which is strange, to say the least.
What do the relevant lines of nsswitch.conf look like
("egrep 'passwd|shadow' /etc/nsswitch.conf")?
Could you give us some more information on your OS environment?

Are you using some strange ulimits? SElinux? Can you tell if the time until it
reappears is "about the same" or very random (actually, the count of processes
started by the BackupPC daemon - assuming they all "use Lib;" - would be the
interesting figure, but that's hard to count)?
You might try setting DumpPostUserCmd to '/usr/bin/id -a' (unless you're
already using it; DumpPostShareCmd will do just as well or either of the Pre
commands, though Post would be better). Does 'id' start having the same
problems at the same time? Are there better diagnostics from 'id' as to the
cause?
