Hi Craig, Thank you for the reply. For tape copies, I’m speaking of sending data to an HSM system. We are using HPSS with FUSE since our HSM systems have always been presented as a POSIX filesystem. I really like the archive function so I was thinking of a way to provide a specific data/time to BackupPC_tarCreate and have it create a tar of files modified after the given time stamp based on the given backup. I was looking to add the time stamp verification in the tarCreate script where it write the individual files. What is the best way to access the time attributes of files being processed by tarCreate?

If you really want to go to the trouble of creating full and incremental tape archives (eg, using tar), it might be better to do that directly without BackupPC. That way you have fully redundancy (ie, the tape method doesn't even depend on BackupPC).

I have been working on tools to archive backups to tape for long term storage. The base archive feature works well however it long process when you have many TB with millions of files to archive. I was wondering if there was a way to archive only the incremental changes (only the new files in a given incremental backup). The idea would be to run a full archive once a week and run incremental archive daily. At the moment, I haven't found a way to accomplish this. Anyone insight would be appreciated.
