Yep, I'm at my first experiments and...

/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h omv -n -1 -s profilo / >
/mnt/USB/omv-test.tar

This one worked ok: I had my tarball (not gzipped or anything) in my
external USB drive.
A question about "-s": as I have more than one share per host, I tried
"-s *" but that didn't work. BackupPC_tarCreate was trying to add the
files in the directory from which I ran that command! :-/ Is there any
way to tell it to just tar every share? Or at least would there be a way
to list the shares?

And, what I don't want to miss is how do I eventually restore a damaged
BackupPC host from my "tarCreated" archives?

Thanks again,
F.
