That is, the private /home/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa didn't go with the copy of id_rsa.pub that you should have appended to the remote /root/.ssh/authorized_keys2. If you think you did this right, I'd start over from scratch and generate new keys by running ssh-keygen as user backuppc, then copy the public key over again. (Note that this will break access to other servers if you have any working. Les,     I have done that repeatedly.  I even went so far as to physically copy the id_rsa file from the BackupPC server to the client rename it authorized_keys2.  I don't know why it's not able to match them up.
