David and Tan,
Thanks for the quick reply. I assume I have to login to the backup 
server as root and then generate the keys as backuppc has no password 
for logging in as user backuppc. Tan, thanks for the tip. U assume that 
will work although I don't understand why backuppc backs up my local 
station the one I log on as joep) where the backuppc is running.
I'm planning to completely reshuffle this system by splitting it in a 
workstation and virtual server (using vmwar, virtualbox or kvm) as that 
can run headless and presumably will be much faster. There I can run 
apache, backuppc, vpnserver, etc. But first this problem must be solved.
Joep
