Take a look at
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#Command-line-restore-options,
which will do the tar restore of the most current backup. You can probably
set that as a DumpPostUserCmd, with the destination being your mounted USB
drive.
You can also configure the localhost (BackupPC server), using XferMethod
'archive' with no compression, again with the destination being your
mounted USB drive. I haven't done it, but
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#Archive-functions seems
to answer your needs. Though if you do this for ALL of your hosts, you
definitely lose out on the deduplication.
