Just look into the file, there is a description at the top (it's a Perl
script).
Example: Create complete tar file of most recent backup of host $host:
BackupPC_tarCreate -h $host -n -1 -s '*' . > /tmp/host.tar

Changing drives is not a problem. Make sure that your whole data
directory (subdirectories pc/ and pool/ and cpool/) and configuration 
are on the external disks. If you store the BackupPC installation there,
too (plus neccessary Apache config), you get some almost standalone
BackupPC server. Your two disks are just two independent server
installations, you only need to sync the configuration between them
(e.g. have an umount-script which rsyncs config to local host, have a
mount-script which rsyncs config to mounted disk).

Tino.
