Seems a packaging issue ? From where is your rpm for backuppc coming ?
/var/run on EL7 is in fact pointing to /run , which is tmpfs, so
packages aren't supposed to drop something there directly, or that
will be gone anyway next time your restart the machine.
Workaround for those not-yet-fixed-for-systemd-packages : man
tmpfiles.d (that will create/maintain those)
