No, you don't need to worry about configure.pl when you're doing a package

RPM based installations are never interactive like deb packages. I may
rename it but if you look in /usr/share/doc/BackupPC-4.1.0/README.fedora it

It's assumed that if you're setting up a serious backup server that you
know the basics of setting up and starting services for your distro. The

# systemctl start backuppc
