As Nils suggested:

Have you read the backuppc manual/faq - most stuff I learned from there 
- then in case of a specific problem you'll find great feedback here.

Reading the documentation is important to learn and understand how your 
backup-system is working :-)

regarding your question:

I'm backing up my server with backuppc via rsyncd.

You need to install rsyncd:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync

I don't use xinetd but can start rsync with

# sudo /etc/init.d/rsync start

Here you'll see a working configuration for an ubuntu server:
(btw. if someone with mopre experience can look at my /etc/rsyncd.conf 
and give some hints about what are the most secured settings I would 
appriciate that, since I just tried to get rsyncd working :-o)
