Yep, I'm at my first experiments and... /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h omv -n -1 -s profilo / > /mnt/USB/omv-test.tar This one worked ok: I had my tarball (not gzipped or anything) in my external USB drive. A question about "-s": as I have more than one share per host, I tried "-s *" but that didn't work. BackupPC_tarCreate was trying to add the files in the directory from which I ran that command! :-/ Is there any way to tell it to just tar every share? Or at least would there be a way to list the shares? And, what I don't want to miss is how do I eventually restore a damaged BackupPC host from my "tarCreated" archives?
