Hi,
To do this i recomend you the following:
make a copy of rsync to your backuppc bin directory
cp rsync /opt/Backuppc/bin
chown root:backuppc /opt/Backuppc/bin/rsync
chmod 750 /opt/Backuppc/bin/rsync
chmod u+s /opt/Backuppc/bin/rsync
then in the host backuppc config change the line that specifies the $rsync path
and change it to /opt/Backuppc/bin/rsync
in the host backuppc config change the line that specifies the copy/restore
comand erasing everything till the var $rsync
what can you achive with this?
well you'll have a much faster/efficient backup because you are not encryting
all the information for your localhost host. has you are local you won't need
to have a tcp and security layer involved in the end you backup can run about
4-10 times faster depending on your cpu/memory.
you may think this is dangerous in a security perspective but just certify that
no1 else belong to group backuppc other than the backuppc user.
Cheer hope I help a bit.
