I have been working with BackupPC for some time, and have created a script that will run through all the hosts and create a tar from the latest backup of that host, then compress is with pbzip2. Under the target directory, the script creates a directory for each host, then a dump file in that directory. There are 3 variables to this script that need to be set. $TARGETDIR = Directory to dump the tar files to. $DATADIR = Your BackupPC data/pc directory. $BACKUPPCBIN = Your BackupPC bin directory. Install pbzip2 and set -7 to the number of processors you want to use for compression, or change pbzip2 -7 to bzip2.
