`scp` does authentication on user basis. `bcp` will use system wide
authentication on the "bacula passwords". So for `scp` one has to exchange
ssh keys for each user, for `bcp` is that already done.
My intented use case for `bcp` is for synchronisation data files for several
users without the burden of ssh-key mangement for all those (system) users.

`bcp` uses the "backup ethernet segment" by default. `scp` tends to prefer
the production network.
