I have been trying to install Backuppc on my system and have run into a problem with the $PATH settings. I put the proper path setting in the /etc/environment file which, on login, is supposed to supply that path to all users. This worked fine for gary and root but not Backuppc user. The path for backuppc doesn't have all of the paths needed.
Any suggestions?

My backuppc server has no /etc/environment file. All the
commands needed by backuppc are in its config with full paths to
each command. There is a MyPath setting in the Server Main
Configuration Editor settings under Server but the doc says its
only for keeping perl happy. You get to this under the web
interface for backuppc.
The Debian install should have fixed all the settings for you so that the server part just works. You just have to add machines and and tell backuppc what to backup on each machine.
Does the backuppc service run? You can see if there are any startup problems with
"journalctl -b -ru backuppc"
Each host has a log file and under the Server section there is a log file for backuppc itself.
The backuppc data is stored under /var/lib/backuppc (on my system
that is s symbolic link to the actual disk/partition large enough
to store all the backed up data, backuppc configs, log files and
ssh keys).
