[BackupPC-users] using archive in BackupPC

2010-01-12 Thread Mark Maciolek
HI,

I must be missing something in how I thought the archive host worked.

I created a client and made its xferMethod archive.

I then selected a client to archive as a test, the archive file is being 
written to the backupPC server in /tmp


I thought it would put this file on the archive host /tmp not the 
BackupPC server

What did I miss?

Mark

The point of the archive host setup is to generate standard tar archives 
that can be saved for later restores without needing the backuppc 
program.  You can change where they land and have them compressed/split 
to fit on different media, but they don't go back to the original host.
