Yes, if you use the GUI installer it asks for a password (I run Fedora
so I tried installing in a Virtual Box instance), however, since for
the contract job I was doing it directly from command line / apt-get I
didn't get that prompt, although strangely enough it did seem to
create a password when I checked out the htpasswd file, so I ended up
just changing the password.

I wasn't given the option of where the backup volume would be (In this
case a RAID 5 volume), so I just used a bind mount so I didn't have to
change the default backuppc settings. Since it isn't running SELinux I
didn't have to do that but it seemed the path of least resistance.
