You may misunderstand the way package dependencies work with APT. The BackupPC package depends on (among other things): apache2 | httpd. All other HTTP servers provide "httpd". Which means if you just install BackupPC, you get sane default software (apache). But if you want to run nginx or lighttpd or anything else, you can. Just choose to install it before, or with, BackupPC. Regards, Tyler -- "Cheops' Law: Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget." -- Lazarus Long, "Time Enough for Love", by Robert A.
