Hi David

Thanks for the suggestion however that didn't fix my issue. I would have 
expected the backuppc user to be created as part of the package install 
in any case.

The problem appears to be one of PEBKAC :( I tried accessing the GUI on 
another browser and it's fine. My (normally reliable) Firefox install 
appears to be the culprit not the backuppc installation as I can access 
in Chromium absolutely fine. Should really have tried that first....

So sorry to trouble everyone with a non-issue however hopefully my 
admission of stupidity here may help someone else with the same problem 
from making the same mistake as I did....

thanks one and all,

Tom
