Does this "backuppc" user actually log in? Or does it simply start
services at boot time, or have cron jobs, or something else?
Files that configure your interactive environment at login (such as
/etc/environment) have no effect on cron jobs or systemd services or
other such things.
You'll need to identify what processes you'd like to alter, and how those
processes get started. The procedure will be different for each kind of
startup.
