Alternately, you can use the per-user crontab correctly.  Use 'crontab 
-e backuppc' to create/edit the crontab for backuppc and then enter in 
your command without the username.

20 20 * * * /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup 
example-2.example.com example-2.example.com backuppc 1

You can then use 'crontab -l backuppc' to view the crontab.  This is 
assuming you are running as root as in your example.  You can also do 
this as the backuppc user.  In that case, just leave the username off 
the crontab commands ('crontab -l' or 'crontab -e').
