Hi,

just a few comments without having tested your script (got my own that
also connects and mounts the iscsi-volume before writing "tapes").

From looking at the help, I couldn't whether this option is only to
specify the directory where the tars are written or if this is also
used to find the backuppc-data. And its very strange to write the tars
by default to the same directory where backpc stores its files.

Also I noticed you skip "localhost" when creating a tar for each host.
Don't do that. That hostname might be misleading in restore, but its a
very valid setting to create backups from.

Have fun,

Arnold
