If it is a reasonably small portion that is copied out, you can use the
web interface to browse to the location in the backup, pick restore, and
have it sent to the browser as a tar file that you save to the external
drive mounted on the machine running the browser (not necessarily the
backuppc server). For something bigger you can use the command line
BackupPC_tarCreate program to generate the tar image on the server,
perhaps scripting it to compress and perhaps split the output. If you
want tar images of entire hosts, you can create an 'archive host' which
basically give you a way to make a tar image from the latest backup of
selected hosts through the web interface, sending the output to a tape
or storing in a pre-configured directory.
