I want my users to have a bit more control and feedback for their backups.

At the moment I have to add htpassword accounts for them on the backuppc 
server.  Also I think all email is going to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for which 
there is no real account).

How do I get email to go to user and/or admin accounts?
I note an EMailAdminUserName configuration setting for Admin, but what 
about each user?

Should I be using the backuppc account for the primary user (as below) 
or is there a better way?

My users do NOT have real accounts on the backup server.  This is 
intentional for admin and security reasons.
I'd like them to be able to enter/manage their own passwords, etc, but 
they obviously cannot ssh to the host as they do not have a real 
account.  Is there a way of doing this ??  I'm using 2.1.2 so maybe the 
newer 3.x.y series supports this?

My /etc/backuppc/hosts file looks something like:

    # Chief (Linux) - Shared Repositories.
    chief-repo     0   backuppc    user1,user2,user3

    # Chief (Linux) - User home directories.
    chief-user1    0   backuppc    user1
    chief-user2    0   backuppc    user2
    chief-user3    0   backuppc    user3

    # User's MSW workstations.
    dell669        0   backuppc    user1
    dell667        0   backuppc    user2
    dell624        0   backuppc    user3


Thanks, Brendan.
