Oh that's the stuff guys :D Was to busy looking for a way to pass it to the
command line, didn't cross my mind to change the command line!
Thanks for all the help.

meaning you want to change $Conf {RsyncClientCmd} (and
$Conf {RsyncClientRestoreCmd}) on a per-host basis to include the -p
option,
something like
$Conf {RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -p 2222 -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath
$argList+';
Alternatively, you can leave the BackupPC configuration as it is and set
up
~backuppc/.ssh/config something like:
Host my.first.computer
Port 2222
Host my.second.computer
Port 3333
See ssh_config(5) for details. The hostnames you use will probably have to
match exactly what is passed as $host to ssh, i.e. leave out or add the
domain part as appropriate.
You can even do both of the above, but it's a bit pointless :). The
command
line arguments would in this case override the defaults in .ssh/config if
they don't match.

Holger
