You can NFS-mount the directory where you say the tar archive should be 
stored in the archive host setup - or copy it after creation.  Those 
files are big but portable.  Backing up the backuppc machine itself is a 
problem due to the large number of hardlinks that must be duplicated. 
Rsync works for some people but has scaling issues.  Some kind of image 
copy of the filesystem may be the best approach.  If you can't do it 
through raid mirroring or LVM snapshots, you'll have to unmount the 
partition while copying.
