First, you probably don't want to run as root, and you normally don't
need to. Second, you have to allow read permission on scripts for
something to execute them, so change the group to whatever your web
server uses.

You should get some html output when you execute the script directly and
root should be allowed to do that. If you are on Linux, try:
strace ./BackupPC_Admin
and see if the system calls it lists make sense or are failing.
