i would have to say that there are a vew distros that already do what you
want. for instance, install ubuntu 7.10 server minimal and apt-get install
backuppc will get you a basic, secure, configured backuppc install with very
little effort.
i do agree that some form of full backup tape or cd/dvd archiving would be
nice to have in the interface. im sure that the backuppc dump command could
be used to handle this with a little magic from the devs
im not sure of a good way to handle dumping the backuppc data directories to
tape. might be better to use the BackupPC_tarCreate(is that the right
name??) with some flags to fit the tape drive as im not sure of a good way
to see the proper directory structure OR restore from that directory
structure if it is archived to tape.
