I found an article on an article somewhere online that I should add the BackupPC user to the sudoers file, see the /etc/sudoers file below for thesyntax I used:IIRC, this is only for local backup via rsync.
I think that article was talking about using another user than root on the client machine. It is more secure to add a user on the client machine and allow that user to use rsync via the sudoers file (so it can run rsync as root) than using root on the client machine.
