This is the one included in the Debian package, slightly modified for my
purposes (using sudo so the backup can get access to all files, for
example).
>>>
# cat /etc/backuppc/localhost.pl
# Local server backup of /etc as user backuppc
#
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
$Conf{TarShareName} = ['/etc'];
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/sudo $tarPath'
. ' -c -v -f - -C $shareName --totals';
# let it back itself up anytime it wants to.
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [];
>>>
there's of course a corresponding entry in /etc/sudoers:
backuppc ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/tar
