In the past, rather than use the BackupPC archive function, I used rsync from
the command line to back-up my Backuppc server to a removable USB drive on a PC
on my network. Don’t know if that will work for you but, may be worth
exploring.

Hello,
Archive of incremental backups (only delta) has not been discussed in a long
time. One of the proposed option was to create a tarball of pc/host/BackupNum
however this requires some gymnastics to correctly interpret the paths. Has
anyone come up with an elegant solution to this problem?
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.

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 SHARENA

Why do I get this reported during an archive process using backuppc_tarcreate?
I've spot checked some of the files and the file size it reports it being
truncated to is the actual size of the file on the filesystem.

I use the following to backup to DAT tape on other SME servers:
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
