I think what you need is to get started, and the web GUI is the place
In my ubuntu 8.04 I have
$ cat /etc/apache2/conf.d/backuppc.conf
Alias /backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/
<Directory /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/>
AllowOverride
None
Options ExecCGI FollowSymlinks
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
AuthGroupFile /etc/backuppc/htgroup
AuthUserFile /etc/backuppc/htpasswd
AuthType basic
AuthName "BackupPC admin"
require valid-user
</Directory>
If when you type http://192.168.1.16/backuppc/ on your browser you get a
request for user/password for authentication and you don't know the
password,
you may use the htpasswd command to add/change user backuppc with a password
of your choice to the /etc/backuppc/htpasswd file
see man htpasswd
<http://192.168.1.16/backuppc/>
Unless anyone knows a better way, of course.
Note:
$cat /etc/backuppc/htpasswd
will print an encryped password, not he password you want to find. Something
like
backuppc:QZF/p88SJO.EU
Tell me/us if the above makes any sense to you, and any more questions you
may have.

Luis
