you can get a 3.1 package from
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/backuppc/backuppc_3.1.0-3ubuntu2_all.deb
you can install this quite easily via
apt-get install sendmail
dpkg -i backuppc_3.1.0-3ubuntu2_all.deb
apt-get -f install
sudo htpasswd /etc/backuppc/htpasswd backuppc
<enter password for sudo.
<enter new password for backuppc>
<retype password>
done
sendmail is not listed in the dependancies for backuppc so you need to
install that or postfix which has sendmail emulations and a
/usr/bin/sendmail script for that.
you will likely not have all of the deps for the 3.1 deb package so do the
apt-get -f install to fix that OR you can use this is X windows
gdebi backuppc*.deb
that will resolve the dependancies for you and you can skip the apt-get -f
install.
you will likely get a prompt telling you how to change the backuppc
password.
that should do it and you should be functional in about 2 minutes total.
good luck
