The web interface starts as your httpd/apache user and becomes backuppc through
the suid setting on the perl script. I'm not sure if the additional groups
would still follow the original apache user or the effective backuppc user, but
I think the former. The server side would be started as backuppc so this
would
only affect the web interface.
