This isn't backuppc specific, it is just the way ssh works. If the
backuppc user doesn't have a key pair in $HOME/,ssh/ yet, generate it
with ssh-keygen. If there is a key pair and you still got that
message, perhaps you missed the '-' in the su command that makes it
pick up the new user's environment to find it. Or there could be
permission issue with the .ssh directory or the files so the backuppc
user can't read them. You can work around the environment being
wrong with the -i option to ssh-copy-id command to pass the location
of the identity file if necessary.
As a side note, if you ever replace a backuppc server, if you copy the
contents of the old $HOME/backuppc/.ssh file into the new one (keeping
permission/ownership correct) you don't have to repeat all of the
setup.
