Backup Central

Hi

Recently in my company we adquiered a tape backup (ts2900), and i wish
send full backup to this tape's, that is possible?
The idea is send montly backup to tape.

I ask because i read that backuppc is designed for disk backup.

cheers

You can use the 'archive host' configuration to set up tape output
that you can control from the web interface or just use the command
line backuppc_tarCreate tool to generate a tar archive of the backup
you want to send to tape.

Hi Les.

And this 'archive host' can be the same backuppc server?, or
necessarily has to be another host?

See:
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#configuring_an_archive_host

An 'archive host' is just a special configuration in the backuppc
server so you can use the same navigation approach as for real hosts
in the web interface, but instead of making a new backup, it lets you
pick existing backups and output a tar archive to your configured
device or location. But if you want to control it from cron or the
command line it is probably easier to just use the backuppc_tarCreate
program directly.
