Thanks Marty and Dan. Doing a chown would appear to be sensible but who is
the owner to be? From my very limited experience with Backuppc from the
previous install I noticed it did not create a normal user on Ubuntu. The
backuppc user name and password only worked through the Backuppc web
interface. I think I will give it a try "as is" and see what happens. I have
no data at risk anyway yet.
chown it first. save a headache.

It seems like an installer dependent question. Why not chown it just to
be safe?
