I don't think you need to back up the encryption keys or SSH configuration, as you saw yourself it's fairly easy to recreate that data. If you really want to back that up, you can just create a new host "localhost" in your BackupPC and use /var/lib/BackupPC/.ssh as the share name to backup. What would be more important is to backup /etc/BackupPC, but in that case I would not advise you to back that up in BackupPC. Maybe you should periodically copy the contents of /etc/BackupPC and /var/lib/BackupPC/.ssh to an external USB disk? But be very careful of where you store your backup keys! They can potentially give root access to all your servers to whoever has access to them.
