Hello Nadia,
A cursory glance of the /etc/BackupPC/pc directory reveals that the
permissions for per-server config files are 640. this means that only
processes running under the backuppc umbrella of users can access those
passwords.
In essence, if you trust the BackupPC web frontend, and if you trust UNIX
permissions, then the only people who can access the passwords stored in the
per-pc .pl files are the users who own the computers, and the root user on
the server hosting BackupPC (and if you don't trust your sysadmin, you have
other problems).
Adios,
