Just use a command like that (run as backuppc user):
BackupPC_tarCreate -t -h $host -n $backupnumber -s '*' . | gzip > 
/mnt/usb/$host-$backupnumber.tar.gz

($backupnumber may be -1 for the last backup). BTW: My Firefox doesn't
do that. It downloads straight where I want it to - maybe just configure
your Firefox to ask for a download destination, then choose your USB
brick?

HTH,

Tino.
