Hi,
Did you try the archive function of backuppc ?
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#archive_functions
I'm using this function in a script (found in the archives of the list) to
create some tar.gz archive of my hosts, then put them on a tape for offsite
storage, with a cron job :
DIR=/backup/backuppc/pc
HOSTS='host1 host2 host3 host4'
DIR_GZ=/backup/tmp
rm -f $DIR_GZ/*
for h in $HOSTS
do
LAST_FULL=`tail -1 $DIR/$h/backups | awk {'print $1'}`
echo "$h $LAST_FULL"
#one line command
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_archiveHost
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate /usr/bin/split /usr/bin/par2 $h
$LAST_FULL /bin/gzip .gz 0000000 /backup/tmp 0 "*"
done
Hope that helps,
Pierre-Damien
