Installation of BackupPC from sources on Ubuntu20

BackupPC

Main tuto: https://kifarunix.com/install-and-setup-backuppc-server-on-ubuntu-20-04/

to get user “backuppc” with uid=995, gid=1000 and /home/backuppc as home folder:

# groupadd -g 1000 backuppc
# useradd -r -m -d /home/backuppc -s /bin/bash -c "BackupPC user" -u 995 -g 1000 backuppc

let login on the remote client with “root” (user backuppc doesn't exist on the backuped clients!)

$Conf{RsyncSshArgs} = [
'-e', '$sshPath -l root',
];
