putting the script in init.d is not al that needs doing.
You must also run update-rc.d to set what run level things should be at.
Have a look at the man page

BackupPC is working well. I just need to know how to start it on power up.
I have put the script into /etc/init.d but it does not work probably
because it need to run as a user.
Hi,
Try this one (from my Debian system):
#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/backuppc
#
# BackupPC Debian init script
#
set -e
# Do not change the values below ! Read /usr/share/doc/backuppc/README.Debian !
BINDIR=/usr/share/backuppc/bin
DATADIR=/var/lib/backuppc
USER=backuppc
#
NAME=backuppc
DAEMON=BackupPC
test -x $BINDIR/$DAEMON || exit 0
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting $NAME: "
start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile $DATADIR/log/BackupPC.pid \
-c $USER --exec $BINDIR/$DAEMON -- -d
echo "ok."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping $NAME: "
start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile $DATADIR/log/BackupPC.pid -u $USER \
--oknodo --retry 30
echo "ok."
;;
restart)
echo -n "Restarting $NAME: "
start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile $DATADIR/log/BackupPC.pid -u $USER \
--oknodo --retry 30
start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile $DATADIR/log/BackupPC.pid \
-c $USER --exec $BINDIR/$DAEMON -- -d
echo "ok."
;;
reload|force-reload)
echo "Reloading $NAME configuration files"
start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile $DATADIR/log/BackupPC.pid \
--signal 1
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/$NAME {start|stop|restart|reload}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
#EOF
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/backuppc
chown root:root /etc/init.d/backuppc
