You only need to protect /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/. If you installed
the Ubuntu package, just edit /etc/apache2/conf.d/backuppc and add lines
like so:
<Directory /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/>
AuthGroupFile /etc/apache2/htgroup
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/htpasswd
AuthType basic
AuthName "BackupPC"
require valid-user
</Directory>
Then create users:
htpasswd -m /etc/apache2/htpasswd username
Then reload Apache.

"Privacy has to be viewed in the context of relative power. For example,
the government has a lot more power than the people. So privacy for
the government increases their power and increases the power imbalance
between government and the people; it decreases liberty. Forced openness
in government – open government laws, Freedom of Information Act
filings, the recording of police officers and other government officials,
WikiLeaks – reduces the power imbalance between government and the
people, and increases liberty."
