I've been using BackupPC for many years now, and am now for the first
time going to be using the Archive features.  For me the archives will
not be for off-site or remote storage, but a sort of "out-of-band"
copy of the backups.  The idea being that if BackupPC is down, and all
that is available is the NFS share, I can simply cp or rsync files
manually from the archive to a host.  I'd like the archive to not be a
tar or any compressed format, but simply an exact 'mirror' of the
system's backup.  So if hostA's defined share is '/' I'd like to have
something like '/var/lib/BackupPC/pc/archived_hosts/hostA-2012-08-25/<root
file system>', where <root file system>, is an exact mirror of of the
share '/'.

I'm not entirely familiar with all the utility scripts packaged with
BackupPC, so this may be something already possible with BackupPC, but
before I went and wrote a custom script to handle this I was hoping
the community had advice or code I could make use of.

Thanks
- Trey
