Hello,
I have many systems, and most of them are older then systemd (so using
classic init). And on those that do, I'm sometimes pulling my hair out
because of systemd. But I do not want to rant about systemd here. I know
I have to learn new things all my life.

This is not exactly what I want. I can ignore the failure by setting
backuppc: UserCmdCheckStatus=0
What I want is to get any output of the script by mail. Whether it fails
or not.
I thought it would be more elegant if this could be done by backuppc
itself than adding something like "2>&1 | mail root" to all predump scripts.
