this is what I did, not sure if it's the official way:
I copied everything to my disk, created a new system user and changed
rsyncclientcmd to:
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l newUser 127.0.0.1
$rsyncPath $argList+';
then forced a full backup and when it was ready I just commented the
line and let backuppc connect to the real host
