BackupPC reads the PID file (eg: $TOPDIR/log/BackupPC.pid) and checks if that process exists. That file is meant to be removed when BackupPC exits. In your case another process (httpd) happens to have the same pid, likely because BackupPC exited non-cleanly and the process numbers have since wrapped. So, yes, BackupPC isn't really running but BackupPC thinks it is. Just remove the pid file.
