I rebooted the system and then ran:
systemctl status backuppc.service

BackupPC seems to have loaded and started on boot up. Does this help.

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.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.
