The short answer is that you can definitely use BackupPC for your environment.
I have used BackupPC in the past for a network of a couple hundred servers. The limitations will be in the capabilities of the hardware and/or the network, in which case you might need to use multiple BackupPC servers. This will depend on your scenario (i.e. YMMV). I estimate that a good ratio of BackupPC server per clients is 1:50 (one BackupPC server backs up 50 clients) using relatively cheap servers for backups (single CPU, ~8GB RAM, commodity non-enterprise class SATA disks).
