Ok.. I have added this to "BackupPC_archiveHost" ( at the bottom ),
for tar.gz over harddisk and tar that to tape:
#
# ** Write to Tape **
#
my $mesg = "Writing to Tape: $outLoc/$host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt";
print("$mesg\n");
$cmd = "cd $outLoc; /bin/tar cvf /dev/nst0 $host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt";
my $ret = system($cmd);
if ( $ret ) {
print("Error Writing to Tape /dev/nst0: $cmd\n");
exit(1);
}
#
# ** Delete hard archive **
#
my $mesg = "Removing temp Archive: $outLoc/$host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt";
print("$mesg\n");
$cmd = "rm $outLoc/$host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt";
my $ret = system($cmd);
if ( $ret ) {
print("Error Removing temp Archive: $cmd\n");
exit(1);
}
------------------------------------------------
This is the config.pl for "archive"
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'archive'; :
$Conf{ArchiveDest} = '/backup/data/tape';
$Conf{ArchiveComp} = 'gzip';
Bye!
