Is there a CLI approach?
If so, where is the list of transfer requests kept?

2. You can do all operations through CLI, all of it is mentioned in the
documentation.

Thank you for your response.
However, I don't believe this short section gives sufficient information
to configure and run BackupPC.
Basically, it just gives a way of finding out what is happening
while BackupPC is running.
(Also it finishes by advising you to use the GUI instead.)

For example, what command would you give to tell BackupPC
that you want to back up /var/www (to choose a directory at random)?

That goes in the config file (typically the per-PC one for this kind of setting, since you won't back up the same dirs on all clients).
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#Configuration-File

The options are described in the following sections, that particular setting is described in the well named section:
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#What-to-backup-and-when-to-do-it

Really, the backuppc docs are pretty good.
