Yes, because archives are just an invocation of BackupPC_tarCreate to 
generate a tar image with some options to pipe through gzip and split. 
If you are using a script, just do it all in a script and you can do 
whatever you want.  All you are getting out of the archivehost setup is 
a small pipeline of commands your cron job can execute itself just as well.
