You probably did things this way but you didn't specify so I'm just checking.

When I'm setting up a client I don't quite follow the FAQ by manually
exchanging keys when it's a lot easier to use ssh-copy-id, so my
process is

(on server)
# su -l backuppc -s /bin/bash
$ ssh-copy-id root@<client>
(get the known host prompt, say yes then logout of client)
(verify passwordless login works)
# ssh root@<client>

If that's working, what's the backup method you're using? rsync?
