Yes, if you use the GUI installer it asks for a password (I run Fedora so I tried installing in a Virtual Box instance), however, since for the contract job I was doing it directly from command line / apt-get I didn't get that prompt, although strangely enough it did seem to create a password when I checked out the htpasswd file, so I ended up just changing the password. I wasn't given the option of where the backup volume would be (In this case a RAID 5 volume), so I just used a bind mount so I didn't have to change the default backuppc settings. Since it isn't running SELinux I didn't have to do that but it seemed the path of least resistance.
