I'm new to this list but i've been using BackupPC for some time, simply

I've looked through the archives and found some old posts relating to

-rwx--x--- 1 edje edje 3927 aoû 11 17:48

So what can would be wrong?

runs as apache:apache

Looks like you have Windows Firewall turned on and its blocking
