So you're saying use that tool (is there any documentation on it or is it a scratch n' sniff type deal?) against my already archived files and then put up the result? That must create a mirror of the files, which would require I have twice the capacity of my backups, minus the stuff I don't want.
I guess the only other solution to that would be some method of specifying which files to be put up to rsync or similar .... wait ... I think .... yes, that may just be a good idea. Using rsync, specify the /backup directory, and ask it to exclude /this/file and /that/file. Any reason that wouldn't be a good idea?

so you want to take an archive from your backuppc server, and send it
somewhere else?
I'd suggest using the BackupPC_tarCreate tool to make an archive of the bits
you're interested in, then transfer that to the remote host.
Or did you have something else in mind?
