Thanks, that looks like a proper solution to my problem. I also had to 
do some twiddling with the suggested suggestions, mainly in the domain 
of file- and directory ownership. Basic fact: I want to continue having 
the ...httpd logfiles belong to apache. Result: practically all web 
script are run by user apache (password files belong to root, but are 
readable by group apache), BackupPC is setuid - the entire directory 
/var/www/backuppc in consequence can belong to backuppc.

Background: I wanted to create (and have) installed my own server for 
foxmarks - same consideration, and no conflict in proprietaryship 
between foxmarks and backuppc.
