Ok, I will change the default of my script. By the way this is only
the first step for me, because the next is to move tar.gz files on
another media and then delete them, so if I have enough space in
/var/lib/backuppc, I can temporarly place them there. However it is
possible to specify another tar.gz location...

To archive localhost, it is needed to modify the regex that matches
only the SMB share in specific host's configuration files...
I think it can be done with a little bit more work :)

Thank you very much for the suggestions!
