That's not related to BackupPC, but Apache configuration only. I'm
running my BackupPC (3.1.0) on https only.

It boils down to enabling SSL (which might be distribution specific),
generating/installing an SSL certificate and configuring an SSL-enabled
VirtualHost in Apache like this:

<VirtualHost 10.x.y.z:443>

# ... your existing BackupPC configuration stays here ...

        SSLEngine on

        SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL

        SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/yourservername.crt

        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl.key/yourservername.key

        SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/your-ca.crt

        SSLCACertificatePath /etc/apache2/ssl.crt
        SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt

</VirtualHost>

AFAIK, you don't need to change anything in BackupPC.

HTH,

Tino.
