Isn't this essentially what archive does?

Hum, may be.
I need to read more about this topic.

I've written the script which do what I've described above.
This is somewhat non trivial and require ssh action on each server.
But I try not to stop the backup now.

Your suggestion about archive may be very attractive, if I can setup something equivalent. :-)

Form the doc :

Starting an Archive

[...] You will see a list of previous archives and a summary on each. By clicking the ``Start Archive'' button you are presented with the list of hosts and the approximate backup size. Select the hosts you wish to archive and press the ``Archive Selected Hosts'' button.

I just have to know 'where' the archive will be created.
For my purpose they need to be on the secondary backup server.

If someone want to see the script and the config trick, I can post it somewhere.

Regards,
Sylvain.
