To troubleshoot this, I'd suggest you make sure that you can, with your chosen backup method, "by hand", back things up. Do by hand what backuppc is supposed to be doing. eg with rsync:
srv% rsync -av -e ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/share/name /some/dir/on/srv I'd also suggest starting with a smaller set of files - tell it to back up one small subdirectory instead of the whole thing, and see if that works.
