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).
