I did it by patching the BackupPC_archiveHost script like this:

--- BackupPC_archiveHost        2008-10-17 21:39:06.000000000 +0200
+++ BackupPC_archiveHost2       2009-01-13 21:46:22.000000000 +0100

+    $cmd  .= "| buffer -B -o $outLoc";
     $mesg .= " to $outLoc";
 } else {
     mkpath($outLoc) if ( !-d $outLoc );

Obviously I had other needs than you, but I guess changing the buffer
command to "buffer -s 5120 -o $outLoc" would do the trick for you :) If
you find a better way, I'm very interested :)
