Re: [BackupPC-users] Archive to tape library
No, this isn't supported. There are tools (like BackupPC_tarCreate) in BackupPC that could be used with external tools or scripts to write/manage tapes. Or you could run something like Bacula in parallel with BackupPC if you really want tapes.

Re: [BackupPC-users] archive (with tape archiving script attached)
Hi Brad, [...] Eg: what happens if the building burns down and the backuppc host you where using doesnt exist anymore, how would you restore? The archive function allows you to tar... but the limit on a tar file is 2GB... which would meant it would split into 100 tar files... but then where would I be able to which file was in which tar? There is no 2GB limit on tar, only for ZIP files. Or are you using software from 1980ies? ;-) Am I going about this in the right way, I know that amanda and bacula are out there but the backup-pc provides the right information in a simple to understand web UI. I have my BackupPC server generate .tar.bz2 archives from servers each day. Bacula picks them up (actually, Bacula starts the archiving script as BeforeJob) and saves them to tape. It's time I publish the script - it's attached. Documentation is sparse - just have a look. IMO the outstanding feature of the script is that it has a runtime limit, so you get a guaranteed time your tape backup will run/finish. And it figures out what host to archive next automatically.

But still the above doesn't work, does anyone have any advice or an example
of their setup for archive to tape ?
You should set the archive location in the CGI interface to
/dev/st0. That will write to tape on the BackupPC server.
The default ArchiveClientCmd should work correctly.
Since BackupPC doesn't use a shell to run external commands, redirection
() won't work.
