Usually there is more information in the error log file about not being 
able to connect or having permission errors.  The likely causes are that 
  the machine has its firewall enabled so the ping test doesn't work or 
nmblookup can't find it, or the username and password don't have access.
With the C$ share you need to use a login that is in the administrator 
or backup group.  You can test access by trying to connect with 
smbclient from the linux box:
smbclient '//server_name/C$' -U user_name
and you'll be prompted for the password.
(note the single quotes needed to keep the shell from removing the $ in 
the share name)  You can add a -I ip_address if it can't resolve the 
name.  After get the connection you should be able to use ls or dir to 
view the directory and get to copy a file over.  If you have problems, 
try mapping the share from another windows box with the same 
credentials.   If you can connect with smbclient without errors, 
backuppc should be able to use it to get the backups, but you still need 
to look though the error log because some files may be locked or have 
permission problems.
