No, there's no need to set up anything special. This is my archive hosts
config.pl:

# this pseudo-host is used for archiving to Tape

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'archive';

$Conf{ArchiveDest} = '/data/bacula-scratch/backuppc-archive/prepared/';

$Conf{ArchiveComp} = 'bzip2';

# do not use par
$Conf{ArchivePar} = 0;

# up to 20 hours for an archive job...
$Conf{ClientTimeout} = 72000;


It worked as expected, but I don't use it because I wrote a custom shell
script to do the archiving.

HTH,

Tino.
