To more securely still use root set PermitRootLogin = without-password (double check syntax , on mobile device), so root can login ONLY via ssh keys.
The above is easier if you have config management (ie Puppet) pushing keys. The other approach is a backuppc user on each backup target. Give that user sudo, without password, to your backup command (ie /usr/bin/rsync). Be sure to comment out require tty in sudoers file, or just for the backuppc local user.
