Ulrich,
As Kris suggested, you could use a script to create a copy of the latest
backup tree.
For example, you could use a command like this (replace HOST, SHARENAME and
/PATH/TO/USB/DRIVE) to extract the most recent backup of share SHARE on
host HOST:
BackupPC_tarCreate -h HOST -n -1 -s SHARENAME / | ( cd /PATH/TO/USB/DRIVE ;
tar xf - )
