I take it then that there is no CLI method of setting up and running BackupPC ?
Sure there is. All of the configuration is stored in text config files. There is a main config file for global options and each host has a config file in it's own directory.
Yes, it was pointed out to me that there are instructions in http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html in Step-7:-Talking-to-BackupPC. I note that these instructions end by advising the user not to follow them, but to set up the GUI method.
Incidentally, I've been running BackupPC on my CentOS-7 server for about a week now, and I notice that no config file is created in /var/lib/BackupPC/pc/helen, where helen is the host-name. It seems the GUI method stores the config file somewhere else.
