Thanks for responding.

I have done all the correction that you undigested. I am still havening 
the auth issue.
When I run the backup in a command line
I noticed these lines:

Negotiated protocol version 28
Got response: 73c7ac91a97cd967d94504b9a6347037
Auth: got challenge: Mkx8AVu0NSVA9mANktJ9Tg, reply:  c8eskal82WfZRQS5pjRwNw
Error connecting to module home at 192.168.0.97:873: auth failed on 
module home

what does that mean? Which user failed Authorization.?  My user account 
on the vista machine or backuppc user
does the backuppc needs to be an administrator user of the vista machine
In my current setup it is not even a user of the vista machine.
