It's there (at the end of the page):

Why? Rsyncd works perfectly on Linux, too.
Most people use rsync because they want (or need) an SSH tunnel, but
this is not required by BackupPC.

To extract /etc, you need to execute:
BackupPC_tarCreate -n -1 -h $HOST -s '/etc' / | > /mnt/server/restore/
restore.etc.tar
I don't use tar, so I must be wrong but this is how I see it.

Hi,
I would you try to copy the file to another dir first and then backup
this (extra) dir to see if it works and how long it takes...

Hello,
I'm trying to implement an 'ArchivePostUserCmd' script to copy all archives
to another site.
In this script I need to get values of $HostList and $BackupList.
For this, I defined the following command :
$Conf{ArchivePostUserCmd} = '/path_to_my_script/backup-offsite $HostList
$BackupList';
cArgs}?
Cheers,
Vince

FYI: I've noticed some little problems during the build and the
installation process.
1 - In the backuppc.spec
re compression. And if the compressed file is corrupted,
your entire archive is unreadable and you can't recover any file at
all.
I don not use the archive-host trick, I simply run BackupPC_tarCreate:
# sudo -u backuppc /usr/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h \
# -n -1
ot;skip over" the extra tape mark."
See http://www.pop.psu.edu/help/file-management/using-tar.htm
("Advanced stuff" section)
I hope this helps you...
