BackupPC_tarCreate will give you a tar archive on stdout.  If you want 
it compressed, you have to pipe through gzip.  If you want that saved to 
a file you have to supply the shell redirection at the end of the 
pipleline and an appropriate path/filename.  But basically you can do 
anything you want in the shell command line.
