Normally, when we use BackupPC's "Archive" functionality, it creates one 
tar (gz|bz2) archive per host.

This way, if the hosts are similar, we loose all hardlinks that BackupPC 
used internally to save us precious space.


This is a bit painful if we intend to write that data to tapes later - 
instead of 100 GB data (hardlinks used), you have 200 GB data (because 
hardlinks are lost)...


Is there a way to use the "Archive" functionality so that it creates a 
one big tar/gz/bz2 package (probably, in a "native BackupPC format", and 
thus, keeping hardlinks) for all the hosts we want?
