No, you don't necessarily need to create these users as system users on the BackupPC machine. See step 9 'CGI interface': http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#step_9__cgi_interface A quote from that section: ---- BackupPC_Admin requires that users are authenticated by Apache. Specifically, it expects that Apache sets the REMOTE_USER environment variable when it runs. There are several ways to do this. One way is to create a .htaccess file in the cgi-bin directory that looks like: AuthGroupFile /etc/httpd/conf/group # <--- change path as needed AuthUserFile /etc/http/conf/passwd # <--- change path as needed AuthType basic AuthName "access" require valid-user ---- It all depends on how you choose to setup BackupPC (there are more examples there), but if you also use the .htaccess method, you can use the htpasswd tool to add users to your AuthUserFile and change and setup their passwords.
