That server message does not exist in 3.0.0 nor in 3.1.0, and that's 
part of the challenge. Using dump works but is bad for scheduling and 
requires automatic backups to be disabled and scheduling handled by the 
client.

However, I am hoping it will be included to make things easier. If it is 
implemented somewhere I'd like to know :)

Also, the other thing the solution has to cover is security. Giving 
clients passwordless access to the backuppc user is not an alternative 
for most people, as it would in most cases give full access to all other 
clients.
